Hi. I had my surgery on 4/1/10. I've lost about 63 lbs. and I'm very happy. My band had .5cc in when it was placed. My first fill was in May and I got 2cc. I just went in Nov. and only had .5cc added for a total of 3cc. I had a checkup with the physician's assistance in Dec. and he felt I was in the "green zone". I was wondering if anybody has these problems: some days I eat very well-no sticking, no neasua, etc. Can eat whatever I want except still avoid bread. Other days I have trouble after a few bites. I get neasua and the I get sick. When I get sick it is silvia. I've only gotten sick 2 or 3 times where it was what I ate but I figured it was because I ate to much. I'm thinking of when I go back in 2 weeks of have a little taken out, like .25cc. Can anybody tell me if they are having these problems and what their dr. has told them. Mine is saying the same thing: eating to fast, not chewing enough, or to big of bites. I don't think that is the problem as I've tried eating the same thing a few days in a row and one day is fine and the next I eat 3-4 bites and then I get sick. Please help. Thanks.

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with my results except for the above problems. I would definitely would do it again.

I think the band is just tricky and you may not be too tight. If you are having these problems for 3 or more days in a row then I would consult your doctor. Most days are fine for me but then at least once or twice out of the week I feel like I am extremly full and I haven't even ate breakfast. I just drink my hot coffee and within an hour I can eat. If drinking warm liquids every day doesn't help you then you may have a problem as well. Most people bands relieve them when they drink hot liquids. I hope this helps.
