I've had my band for 5 years and have had great success (100lb+ loss), however I am now able to eat anything since I have not had a fill in 2 years, and have begin gaining weight. I have a filled scheduled through fill centers on 10/8 and initially thought that a fill was all I needed. I have been reading the slip board post and have begin to wonder. My port and band feels like it's in the same place, I don't throw up and have no soreness. I regret going to the slip forum. Has anyone else felt this way?:smile2::confused:

Yeah I know how you feel, that's why I have avoided going to the forums that talk alot about sippage, erosion and stuff. I know it is all possible I just dont wanna freak myself out about it. I'm sure you are fine go get your fill and start back on the road to losing

You are absolutely correct! I wish the date was just a lot sooner than next month! But I am so ready!

Hey Zeniada, you and I had our bands done on the same day, Tijuana different hospitals. I am going back to Mexico on the 30th,I can eat anything I thought I just needed a fill. I have not ever had the full feeling except the night after surgery. Tell me how u feel. I am worried something is wrong. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
