I would say call your doctor.....

Definitely contract your doctor. You need to have some tests done. It may or may not be band related but only tests by your doctor will give you the answer.

Are you able to eat normally (the usual way you do as a bandster)? Do liquids go down OK?

Doctor will definately want a food diary. I would start on and look at it. See whats different now from what you remember you ate 6 months ago when you didn't have the problem. Any brand changes of food that may have triggard it. Just some thoughts. Good luck and great going on the weight loss.

Congradulations on being banded for 6 years. How much have you lost over all the years? Sounds like you have been able to keep it off. When was the last time you saw your band doctor? Have you had any x-rays or live ones done to see how your band is doing? How many cc's did you have in your band when you last saw your doctor? Like everyone else has said I would call the doctor and go in and see him.
