Why Are My Fills Not Working Any More?

Hi I got banded three years ago in Mexico. The last three adjustments have been useless. The very first day of the adjustment is perfect but after the second or third day it's like there was no adjustment made. Is there a possibility the water is coming out of my band?

hmmm possible leak, possible dilated pouch (I've had the same issue for over 9 months after I unfilled my band totally for another surgery, when I refilled I just never got the restriction I expected, until a mega fill at the end that has taken my band to almost full). I had a barium swallow and have a slightly dilated pouch - but the doc doesn't believe its serious. In fact he said its to be expected after almost seven years banded and that we can shrink it down some by being careful.

But lest you panic, I'd also say that adjustment to the band this quite normal, it just happens and it may very much be that you're just not "listening" anymore. I really have been surprised that now that I've really started to pay attention again, I am indeed just ignoring signals and eating past satisfied, eating when I'm not hungry and don't really have an appetite, etc.
