Help! I had my surgery a year ago this month. I lost steadily until I started getting fills. Then the vomiting started and the weight loss stopped. I tell the dr ever y month. HeS been loosening it since march. Still can't keep any healthy food down. No meat. Very few veggies. I only eat junk. Any thoughts?

I would have him empty it back to where it was when you were losing. Then, if you start losing again, keep it right there

You eat junk on purpose? Look to the right and read SteveFrett's post.

Vomiting will lead to slips and eating junk will lead to weight gain. If your doctor removing fluid isn't helping, then you need to have a barium swallow done to check for a slip or other complication.

I'm in my 7th year postOp and beginning to have concerns with possible slip issue. Going in tomorrow for imaging.

Do not 'slip' back into old back eating habits no matter what!

I once had to have all fill removed for about a year. Too tight is not good.

Sometimes it's hard to decide. I think many Bandsters try to get too filled too quickly and cause themselves grief....at least that's my own impression.
