Allrighty, this is not supposed to hurt, I hear.

Well, it does. I have the smaller band and was losing slowly

(perfectly fine) after my 10/10/06 surgery.

I had 1 cc put in on Dec 14. Doc wanted to do 2, but I said no way.

Just this week it has been bad. Maybe the holidays are over and

I am noticing it more. But I've lost 8 pounds since Dec 14. Far too

much for me!! I'm noticing how weak I get.

I seem to have a lot of air trapped that I work at getting

out of my stomach.

I'm considering having half of the restriction removed. But

I have to drive a long way to do it.

Does this just happen? I heard that some people have restriction kick

in after about 4 weeks. is this enough time to have it settled?

I think it is.

What do you do to see that the band is in the correct p l ace?

Insist on an X-ray?

I would have a slight unfill. It sounds like you are just too tight.

I'm having sort of the same problem!

I was at 2.5cc for about a month and went in today and went to 3.5 CC! I have never before been able to handle that much fill at a time. I left feeling no restriction but now, i'm trying to have some soup, and even the littlest sips won't go down! It is so painful! i'm going to go in first thing in the morning and have some major unfill!
