I was banded Oct. 14, 2010 and have lost 25 lbs and had 2 fills. Was getting good restriction until last week and all of a sudden I have none........what happened? I go in Monday to get a fill.......can they do an x-ray or something? I have NO restriction whatsoever......I could eat a horse. I feel like something has gone wrong. Has anyone had this happen? I used to feel full after my 1/2 cup and now I could eat 2 cups if I wanted. Last time I had a fill I could not stop PBing and getting stuck so they took out 1/2 cc and now I have none. I am so confused and lost about getting this right. I have also been stuck at 25 lbs for over a month now. Thanks........Pat

You may not get an answer until you see your doc. We would just be guessing as to what is going on. Keeping fingers crosses that all is well.

Possibly what has happened is that the 25lbs you lost wasn't all on the outside, some of it was fat lost around your stomach too. Your stomach gets smaller, your band gets looser, you loose some of the appetite dimming.

It's possible they could do an xray, but that depends on whether your doctor thinks you need one. My doctor doesn't use fluoroscopy, he'd have to send me over to the hospital to get it done. If it was needed, ok, but I don't want to have the extra radiation.

Hope they can give you some answers on Monday.
