I was banded on April 7, 2006. Had my first fill mid May--nothing --no restirction. Had my 2nd fill in mid June and boy could I tell a difference!! My problem is now I have trouble keeping anything down if it is not Soup, liquids, Wendy's chili or stuff that's crunchy (crackers. toast, etc). I believe that I have an overfill (2.5 in a 10 band) but I am reluctant to have any removed for fear that I will go back to no restriction at all. I have lost 31lbs to date but feel it should be more. I don't want to damge anything by having a "too full band". Anyone else with this problem??

You can damage the band if your to tight. Thats a big warning t people. I've never been t tight but I have heard of a lot of people who have.

He won't take the whole fill out just some. I would go back ASAP and get a little taken out.

Your doing great with your WL. Try not to put that I'm not doing enough pressure on yourself. BELIEVE me it doesn't make you lose any fast. For me it slows it down further.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
