Hi guys, I really want a rest from my band over Christmas, but I'm scared that my doc will refuse to completely unfill me (or nearly completely). I've had some problems with it too lately, like acid reflux and PBing, which are also influencing my decision. Does anyone else have experience in this matter? I'm really worried he will refuse or give me a lecture :-(

I appreciate you posting this honestly. I am having a problem right now where I am vomiting and burping a lot and feel some acid reflux. I only want to eat soft things and I am not losing weight. I am going to make a doctor's appointment to get an unfill. I have always felt overfilled since getting a fill in October, but kept thinking it was a sign of weakness or maybe I was doing something wrong I tried everything to help eat slower, eat small bites, everything. I also have to drink water to eat anything (which I no is a big no-no) but it is getting worse, so I am going to my doctor. It is getting to the point where I just want to eat soft things because eating is uncomfortable and I actually miss eating healthy things like vegetables and skinless chicken. So, I want to say thank you for posting this because it helped me. And I say you do what you need to do for you, it is your journey.
