Today my band was filled again after taking all the fluid out because of a dialated esophagus. All testing came back good so Doctor put back 4 in today.

What I got from your post(s) is that simply giving everything a rest can cure many band related problems.

I never needed fluid taken out, but I do all liquids (5 day pouch test?) for a few days about every 6 weeks or so....accomplishes the same thing IMO. Perhaps that's why after 4 years I have never had any issues...

B52 I think u are doing the right thing. After this experience I have considered doing it more often. I need to improve on listening to my body also. I'm focusing on making sure I don't overeat and stay away from slider foods. I'm thankful that I only gained 4lbs through this process from continuing to eat right and work out with my trainer. I'm confident with my renewed commitment I will continue down a successful journey.

On another note I have noticed since the refill I have had terribly

Do you mind me asking how long and what kind of tests did you do? How long did you wait to do the tests after your doctor unfilled you? My doctor wanted me to take a ct scan right away after i got unfilled but that doesnt give your body enough time to heal and see results (i think)

I had a Gi done a three weeks after he U filled me. It came back normal. Was happy because he thought my pouch was dialated rather large and thought I might have to do revision but it healed back fine

I originally had the cat scan that's how he saw the pouch was dialated
