back in Feb. I was suffering from being overfilled and was pb'ing every day getting stuck and vomiting....

so I went and got a very slight unfill and was happy ever since up until about 2 weeks ago I noticed that I can eat and eat and eat, I'm not losing weight and keep gaining and losing the same 2lbs....

I get super hungry after 1-2hours I mean tummy rumbling Water not helping hunger....

so I have decided that I will get a fill on sunday the 21st but am soooooo super scared that I will get over filled again since I go to Mexico for my fills and unfills it is mostly a gamble even though they do the fills under fluro. it's more of a pain to go back and forth even though I live 10 mins away from the boarder LOL

I want to keep losing weight since I have lost 54lbs so far and have about 90 more to go to reach goal.. I'm just worried and scared

If you need a fill, you need a fill. I know crossing the border is a pain, but the band doesn't help much if you don't have a proper fill. I had an unfill once, after all the irritation was gone from the vomiting, I was able to go back after a month and have double what I'd had removed put in. After the swelling was gone, and I'd lose more weight--there was room for more fill.

You have a 4cc band right? Just remember, with the smaller bands, teensie amounts of fill make HUGE differences.

I just posted what I am about to say on another thread.. but I am experiencing exactly what you are wanting to avoid. I have had my band for two years and lost 25 pounds. I also got pregnant and had a baby in that time so I forgive myself a year of that time.

So I have been trying to get back to where I was before getting pregnant and I had a fill in February that ending up being a nightmare for me and went to the ER and had most of my Fluid removed. I've been getting fills since then and up until Friday had been able to eat whatever, whenever. Friday I went from 6cc's in my band to 6.5cc's and now I cannot eat real food and have only been taking TINY sips of Water, broth, etc. I took a drink of milk yesterday morning and could not keep it down so that irritated my band. I was sipping the rest of the day and was lucky to keep any of it down. Today, the same thing and to be honest, I am SICK of it. I cannot find a happy medium and I am starting to resent this band. I am so stressed out about it and I am just tired of dealing with it anymore. Yes, I know this is a poor attitude, but I cannot help feeling this way. My life right now does not allow me time to drive an hour to my doc every week to figure this out and I am at a loss. This has been such a huge emotional struggle for me and I dont even know what I want anymore, other than I would love to eat something to get rid of this headache I have from hunger. I am so sad and frustrated right now I am just beside myself.
