I had a band done just over 2 yrs ago and have stayed static for the last yr and a half.i haven't lost or gained. I had an adjustment in the summer as I felt I was able to eat more, and also felt I wasn't benefiting from the band, the fill went ok and seemed to be helping as was restricted again. Then out of the blue 6-8wks later I couldn't get even liquids in I really felt I had some thing stuck. After having telephone calls I had 0.2ml removed and was instantly better.the nurse agreed there must have been something stuck. It wasn't a nice feeling having something stuck but I was also conscious that I had less in the band and once it had settled again as I was just in my plan still I had 0.1 put back in. I have been fine since and I still would like another fill, but not sure if they will do it? Also I haven't lost any weight for at least a year, I'm not sure if I've had a slippage or if I just don't have enough in the band as there is only a minor restriction- like I have to eat slower still but can eat anything really. Any ideas what to do? Or how to find out if I've had a slippage? I do get the occasional reflux, but not bad,I think as some do on here I should maybe have had a sleeve as I still haven't lost as much as I would like to,to date 3 stone but another 3 to go.any ideas anyone?
