Hello everybody,
I was banded in October 2006, got pregnant after six months and 25 pounds lighter and had a healty baby boy who is 9 months now.
I never really got a chance to really focus on my band and weight loss and am stuck now. Since my two last months of pregnance my band doesn't seem to adjust well. I am either too tight or too loose. I get a fill or defill, am fine for a few days or a couple of weeks and my band goes either tight or loose on me. With two little kids, it takes me a few weeks (sometimes months) to make an appointment for another fill/defill. Therefore, i am constantly struggling with either heartburn, indigestion, hunger, thirst, ...
Can you please suggest forums or threads where I can find answers to some of my questions? is there any hope with my situation? Please help!
