And I can't wait! I wrote just the other day that I hadn't gained a lb. Yeah right! Got on the scale this morning and I gained 5. I never want to be without my band again. This time, I'm following instructions to the nose so I don't continually throw up (like I have been for 2 1/2 yrs) and slip my band again. He told me when I got emptied (they only took out 1/2 of my fill) that he would put all of it back in in 3 weeks. I'm hoping they put it all back in instead of going slowly like I read most people on here do. I had 9.5 cc in a 14cc band. I told my husband tonite that I'd been lying for 3 weeks telling him I was full - when I was starving all the time! reminds me of the old days...Oh how I DON'T want those back again!

My doc suspected pouch dilation after four years banded. He emptied my band completely and I was scheduled for an EGD. EGD showed no slippage and everything OK! Today I went back in for a fill. They put 6 back in after taking 10 out. I gained 9 lbs in two weeks! Back on the wagon I go. This time, I too, will FOLLOW THE RULES!
