Issues with Lapband after pregnancy

My baby is 8 months now carried to full term with a filled band (dr removed some fluid at month 3 of pregnancy) went back about 3 weeks ago for a small fill and ended up in ER a few days later with dehydration, lost 7 pounds in a matter of days.. Had bad acid reflux had to get more fluid removed... The small fill he originally gave me made me feel "tighter" just the way it feels before a menstruation. Anyhow, I want to attribute my "tightness" to my hormones but not sure. The night I checked in to the ER they did an MRI on me and emergency dr attributed my band was too tight.. Saw my dr within a matter of hours felt great Relief with the removal of .5 cc's oh yeah he also said my port had flipped..... Looking/ pondering the thought of getting "sleeved" and I'm at 203 pounds now my fear is losing like 100 pounds I would weigh 100 and that's not healthy nor would it look healthy. I have always been a tall "healthy" big boned girl... Anyone out there with a similar experience? My dr said that if I kept spouting up acid reflux in the middle of the night that we'd take an X-ray with the barium stuff but he said he's not worried too much cause it might just be my hormones...... I'm giving this time to settle I guess but sleeve is sounding a lot better each passing day.. Any insight/thought/feedback? Thank you wls family.
