Hi,
I was banded September 05 without any problems... In the first 9 months I lost 50 lbs then my band slipped. 1/24/07 my slip was surgically fixed (after a couple of months of unfills).... Since Jan. 07 I have not had a lot of success with my band... I have had many fills and still don feel much restriction... Last month I went in for a fill and the nurse took out Fluid saying that I was too tight.... I am now stuck trying to figure out what to do next... I don't feel any restriction and have no problem eating.... I will be going into the Dr. next week so he can check my band under Fluro.... Has anyone had their band replaced with a larger band? If so, did that work?
I'm really frustrated... Anyone else having a similar problem?
Sincerely,
Banded905
