can someone try to help me. i was banded in july 2010. have only lost 50 lbs and have been stuck since sept 2011. have not been able to really keep food down so if i vomitted, i would get hungry and end up having coffee and dessert since i never had a problem keeping that down. knowing that this is not the right way to live i went back to the doctor on monday and they removed 1cc bringing me to 6.4cc. i know feel the total opposite. i can eat everything in sight. i feel horrible. i dont know not having any restriction at all. i have alredy made an appt for feb 10 to get a fill. how can 1 cc make that much of a difference. i dont have any problems eating anything... its so weird. i havent eaten for months and now in a flip of a switch, i can eat anything and feel that it is never enough. has anyone ever gone through this.

i have already gained 3 lbs since monday.. i dont know how, i really havent been going crazy eating. im so upset

There is a possibility you could have had a tiny slip in you band which caused all the tightness and vomiting. So removing 1 cc could have put it back in proper position. 1cc is a lot when you start toggling around your sweet spot. Get filled under the fluoroscope when you go back in in feb. watch your portions till then!

how do i get a fill under a fluoroscope. what is involved with that and what can they see with that

Most if not all bariatric surgeons will have a fluoroscope in their office to fill under. It's basically and X-ray and you drink barium as they watch and fill you under e X-ray they can see the barium going through your band. Ask your doctor if they have one!

1 cc doesnt sound a lot but it is when u are close to your green zone fill, if they put back 0.5 it will probably do the trick for you, my last fill was 0.3 as i am very close to my green zone too. I did hit my green zone before christmas but have lost weight again since then so needed a little top up
