Hi Everyone!

There is so much great information here that I'm thankful I found this site.

I was banded July 2006 - had one fill 2 months later and unfortunately, it was too full... I got frustrated and stopped going back (big mistake) so for the last few years, I've been struggling with PBs, sliming, pain and frustration... the irony of all of it was that healthy food won't go down but junk food slides like butter so all in all, I gained back all of the weight I had lost in the first couple of months... I didn't realize that all of my symptoms could be explained by being too tight... So, I just went back to the clinic where I had my banding done and met with a different Dr - mine no longer does bariatrics - and he explained that the methodology of the previous doctor was to over fill and then slowly take back out.... THANKS doc!

So we unfilled and after almost 4 years, I'm starting over...

I'm due for a check up in a couple of weeks for my first fill and hoping this time this will work.

Biggest issue I've always faced is when I cook for my family, I tend to taste constantly so I need to address that, increase my Water intake, and watch my portions... anyone have any advice or inspiration for me? Thanks!:eek:
