Band not working after giving birth

I was banded in Sept 2005, lost 10kg, fell pregnant with my 3rd baby, had the baby, & haven't lost anything since. My problem is that my band dosn't give me that full feeling. In fact I haven't had that feeling since I fell pregnant. If I have the tinest of fill's, I can't get food down, so I have the tinest unfill, & I can eat more than a horse. I have had a barium swallow under X-ray and the DR said all looks fine. This band has been nothing but frustrating for me. I think I have about 2.3ml in a 10ml band.

I am telling you my story in the hope that one of you out their may have had this problem & have overcome it. If so, I would really love to know what your outcome was!!!

Sick & tired of this journey -:confused2:

I haven't had this happen but I know that my doc says he doesn't trust the barium swallow to show there are no problems. He will use it but with symptoms you are describing I'm fairly confident that if the barium swallow didn't show anything he would have suggested moving to more definitive tests to make sure.

Maybe my bumping this thread will help you get a response from someone else that might know better.
