I have a 10cc band and I was at 7.75cc for several months.

Weight loss was slow but steady...1- 1.5 lbs a week with a 2-3 week stall every few week.

I had an adjustment on September 20. She added .30cc to bring me to 8.05. I was fine perfectly fine....great restriction....great everything.

I got a cold, lost my voice for a couple days and had a weird cough. I had a metallic taste in my mouth and my DH was concerned that I had silent GERD.

I went to the doc on Oct 11. I had lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks. She took out .20cc to be on the safe side leaving me with 7.85cc in my band.

The cough is gone...but now I am STARVING and I have gained 2 pounds.

It doesn't make sense to me-- I have more in my band then I did for the last 3 months.

Can a small unfill make you feel like you you don't have a band at all? I mean I am STARVING....worse than any bandster hell I may have gone through.

I still have a numbness on my tongue that comes and goes but I am not coughing, spitting up, and I can eat drink just fine.

Is this something to worry about?

Should I go back and get some put back in my band?

Any tricks or advice you can offer??

Thanks!

Don't know why you are currently having problems.

I would like to point out though that your previous weight loss of 1 to 1.5lb per week was not slow. It was exactly what the band is designed to do. I am surprised that you were given a fill when you were obviously in the place where you needed to be.

I hope you get your problem sorted out soon.
