Ok so i was banded on Oct 1st. I lost 20 lbs pre op and 20 right after banding. i have not lost any weight since 3 weeks after surgery. In fact i gained 2 lbs last month.

I've had a fill every month since Dec. I am now 6cc in a 10 cc band i have never felt any restriction. I called my dr yesterday because i'm getting so frustrated. He suggested doing a fill under fluro next week.

Can someone please tell me the diffrence in this fill. Are there questions i need to ask? Has this happened to anyone and once the fluro is done do you have the restriction you've always desired? Help i'm kinda nervous about this. I hope i haven't ruined my band in any kind of way.

My first fill was yesterday and it was under fluro. Basically, you drink a barium and they can see how it empties from your smaller stomach to the larger one. It's pretty cool. She had overfilled me a bit and watched it get "caught" so she pulled a bit out. They can tell how good your restriction is with one. :ohmy:

I personally think it's better. That way, they're not guessing on how tight your band is.
