I have been banded since June of 2008 and have lost a little over 100 lbs. My current weight is 151 so I am very happy with my band. But here is my problem: In September I was too tight so I got an unfill... I have been extremely happy with the amount taken out but recently I got the flu and had alot of chest congestion which made me swallow phlegm which caused me to slime and throw up more than normal esp in the middle of the night (I know gross right?!) and now NOTHING will go down not even liquids... do I need another unfill or will it go back to the way it was before? I have lost like 15 lbs in the last 3 weeks waiting for my band to go back to the way it was! I have a dr appt wednesday to get an unfill but Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks!

It's definately time to see the doctor. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a complete unfill. You have done fabulous. I was banded about the same time and haven't done as well. But saying that I am so glad that I did the band. I love that it keeps me in check and if I'm good the scale goes down. The food choices and exercises choices are mine I just need to make better ones. Good luck to you.
