brief outline.

Had band in sept 07. All good for a few months, fill went upto 5.5mls, then I started having probs keeping food down and sometimes even Fluid. Had some out, again all ok then the same circle. I now have 2mls (like not having one my surgeon says) and I still have issues keeping food down. I have kept my weight off and even have lost more.

I had the added problem of being dx with Multiple sclerosis only 8 weeks after band was fitted. I know I really need to go in for a barium meal which my doc wants me too. He actually doesnt think there is slippage because some days I can eat normally without issues at all. We both think that I may have muscle weakness from the MS which has got progressively worse over time so my muscles are so weak some days it cant push the food through even so loose.

Anyone else have these probs or similar. Sometimes I just wanna scream. My weight is now 74kgs down from 102kg and I am happy where I am, its just so bloody hard some days.
