It has been almost 3 years since my surgery and I really need to get on track. I am so frustrated with myself. Everytime I went for a fill I got no restriction so I quit going. If I start going back now will a fill help me get back on track or am I hopeless at this point????

I am guessing they would do a complete unfill and start the process over. This is supposed to help people when they've hit a wall.

omgoodness....never hopeless !!!!

I would not do a complete unfill. People say it never feels the same. Just get a fill and start over.

Just tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth and let your doc make his or her recommendation...

If you never felt restriction from your fills perhaps there is an issue with your band? Maybe a leak? I would go see your doctor, tell them what you have told us. Don't give up!

I did not get restriction until 10.6 in a 11 CC band. Depending on how much fill you had you may never have gotten restriction. Go in and ask for a fill.

Get back in there! You are worth it and can do it!

My doctor told me NEVER give up, If I need to go in every week for fills, he would rather have that then not feel restriction. I have 6.5cc in a 14cc band right now, I only feel very slight restriction. I go back in on March 5th for another fill. You owe it to yourself to get back in there, get the fill (and if needed, have the dr do it under flouro to make sure everything is ok with your band) and feel the restriction.

Hi - This happened to me and when the Dr. (after 2 years) did a flouro - only cause hubby asked - the band had never been connected!

I agree with the others, maybe your band has a leak or something.

I had my 14cc band taken out an a new 10cc band put in. Now I feel restriction and love, love, love my band whereas before I didn't love it so much - LOL
