Need some help here. I've been struggling with the fill...unfill thing right now. Why is it that the amount of fill in your band is affected by your current weight? When I was at 240 I had 5.0 in my band and I was pretty ok, still a little hungry tho. I was then taken to a 5.4...which was good...I was still able to eat. I got sick in Feb and 1.0 was removed from my band. That took me down to a 4.4 which was a big mistake cause I was able to bulldoze anything in my way. I gained some pounds. I went back and .6 was added to my band which brought me back up to 5.0. Well now I weigh 219 and I am having a problem. It feels kinda tight. I am not suffering from night coughs and I am able to sip water and eat mushies like hummus...pudding...but I have to eat really really slow. Im thinking about giving it a couple of more days before I call true results. I think I might have some inflammation due to the double stick when they added .6...at first, she couldn't find my port and kept moving the syringe around then we went to xray and everything was fine....she located the port, stuck me again and added the fluid. If anyone has had this experience, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks! Oh...before I forget...I just had my fill on 4/6/10...two days ago.
