I was banded 4 years ago this November. Since being banded I have had two children. I started getting fills again and doing weight watchers at the same time. I really wanted to work on portions, and eating healthier. I have lost 51.6 pounds since Feb 2012. I recently started having sharps stomach pains, on and off acid reflux, and I have had issues with chicken getting stuck a couple of times this week. I have decided to get an unfill today. I am thinking 1.5 to 2 cc. I am not sure how much is in my bad, I do know that it is tight. This will be my chance to really work on my issues with food.

Has anyone had any type of unfill and still lost? I guess I am just a little scared. I workout and eat pretty good so I know I will be alright. I just want to know if there is anyone out there like me.

Thanks!!

I have had only one fill ( they put in 3 cc at the time of my surgery) I have a total of 4 cc in me now. I am also thinking of getting the doctor to take out at least a half to one cc. I had my surgery May 24th and have lost 42 lb. i am getting stuck way to often and I chew chew chew but the chicken and fish will not go down easy. I worry that I will not lose if I do this. On the other hand I do not want to live like this, not being able to eat out and I am so afraid to go to friends house for dinner. Still not sure what to do. Hugs

I ended up with .5cc being taken out. I am a little scared but I know following Weight Watchers, making good food choices, and exercising I will still lose these last 20 pounds.

Every since I had an adjustment...unfill...It seems I can't get enough to eat
