I have read that one of the signs of band eroision is weight gain. Stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyways. Is the weight gain caused because you lose restriction and you can eat whatever you want or...............is there something else that makes us gain the weight? I might have band erosion, having an endoscopy tomorrow, and I cannot stop gaining weight. Yes I am probably eating more now because I have no restrictionn, but there are days when I don't eat that much and I have gained about 8 pounds in 2 weeks. I am freaking out. Thanks for your input.

I hope you don't have erosion, I will keep thinking good thoughts for you. I always gain that fast when I am unfilled, so I feel your pain. It is all about the ability to eat more and doing so. Loss of restriction is a bummer.

Best wishes,

Mimi
