I am having the same problems. What was your outcome?
-
I got the band in dec 2006 and did great losing almost 100 lbs in 2 years with a total of 2 cc's in fills. I just had my 4th child in February by c-section and was very excited to get back on track with fills in May. I am now on 2.5 cc's of fill and I barely feel it! I am SO frustrated, continue to feel hungry and eat because of it, therefore gaining weight again in the process!! My PA is doing a limited upper GI in September so I hope to find out more. Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? My PA makes me wait at least 4 weeks before she will look at filling again. If I can't feel it in the first week or so, I probably am not going to feel it after 4 weeks either. I don't understand why pre-pregnancy I was doing well on 2 cc's and now am beyond that and not feeling anything.
