I was banded a yr ago and was unable to eat for a few weeks I thought it was me and I wasn't eating right. Then I was unable to have liquids I became dehydrated so sick I couldn't move. I rushed to the er where my dr does the surgeries. He emptied my band completely I drank water to flush my stomach he said there was a possibility of food being stuck being that I already did that nasty esphogram and it looked normal. He filled my band back up but left me at 6.5cc instead of the 7 5cc I was and I feel great and I'm eating with out it coming back up. Has this happened to anyone else?? I'm a little upset because I've gained 6 pound's in 5 days!!

Maybe after giving your system some time to recover, you can find a happy medium with restriction. Never, ever give up on yourself! Best wishes.

I agree, hope that you can get your momentum back. Karen

I would venture to guess the weight gain is due to re-hydration. It should level out and you should start losing again.
