  1. I have had mine for a year and a half and feel like a complete failure. Since last August I have been back and forth getting fluid in and then within a week having to have it removed because not even liquid goes through. Was told it was my gallbladder so I had it removed only to experience the same thing after getting filled. It has been two months now since my doctor removed ALL of my fill and I have gained 25lbs. I am so mad at myself for gaining and at my doctor for not listening to me when I said I thought he put me over my sweet spot. Getting in to see him is like finding a needle in a haystack so I am even more upset. Unfortunatly I am not able to withstand a lot of fluid in mine like the majority of people on here. When I get 4.75 cc in me is when I close up completely. I am trying to get back on track with eating right and exercising, it's just really hard when I'm so deperessed.
  2. Hello all. I had my surgery April 27, 2009. All was going well and I lost 60lbs until exactly one year ago. In August 2009 I received a fill and within a couple of days I was closed up and had to have some removed. This continued until March of this year when I had to have my gallbladder removed. Had a couple of fills all was well until last month when I closed up again. Too much was in my fill. My doctor removed it all and now I have gained 25lbs. I am so bummed out! I still have high hopes that my doctor will pay closer attention and listen to me when I tell him I think there's too much.:biggrin: Has anyone out there experienced this or am I truely special????
