Had an infill 6 weeks ago due to a band slip. I go tomorrow to see if it moved back. I pray it did because I have been out of control! I don't know what's the matter with me! All I keep saying is wow I haven't been able to eat that in 6 years... Yeah so now I'm up 20 lbs in 6 weeks! I am beyond discussed with myself! I can only hope tomorrow shows it went back and they can start filling me again... ????

Ok my band went back!! I can't tell you have relieved I am! I guess it was a warning/wake up call! They gave me only 1/2cc and I have to wait 4 weeks for next fill. They said I have to take it slowly with the fills. All I know is I'm back on the road! Now to see how long it takes to lose what I gained over the last 6 weeks.

Yippee! Here's to not worrying about the past -- just today and going forward. A number is just a number. What counts is how you feel. So happy for you! And for all of us, as I was just rereading this thread (great one by the way) I was thinking about H.A.L.T. Do you know that one? Don't let yourself get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired.

And if you should....cause it happens, reach out we are all here to help support each other! Being able to share with everyone has saved me from more then one ice cream sandwich!!

I got banded march 2007. have had lots of ups and downs. overall pleased, I wanted the band mainly to keep from gaining and lose a little which I did. so no major weight loss. recently has a possible slip so was un filled and allowed to let band settle. bad idea because my habits came back ( or were unleashed because we all know sometimes the band just masks the issues) anyway got refilled and back on track but still no major weight loss, but now I am ready to drop more but don't think I can handle another fill. as it is now I can only eat very little at a time (so lots of small meals, another issue) has anyone overlapped treatments and used opti fast and if so was it successful? I feel like once I lose the weight the band pretty much keeps it off.

I found that I was getting into a lot of bad habits with my band and the scale was showing it. Then I had the unfill and all hell has broken loose! The 1/2 cc gave me nothing and they want me to wait four weeks! I can't I need help now! So I am going back next week instead. I have no restriction at all. My body is feeling this extra weight big time!

Well praise God for that. Hope all goes well for you. Good luck.

MY BAND SLIPPED AS WELL I WAS BANDED IN 2007, NOW SHE WANTS TO REMOVE AND DO THE SLEEVE, ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT?

I was banded the same time and I also in the same boat.
