:confused:i have not had a fill since 2-08 i have been very tight and know i have been playing with fire staying so tight but the last time i when to my dr. when i was so tight he took to much of the fill out and i could eat a horse and was really hungry!!!

i have had heartburn at night, and my band is very finicky i never know what will stay or what will cause a pb!!! but i have learned to eat less and stop eating before 6:00 at night and for the first time i have lost weight at a steady pace since feb (1-2lbs a week).

but the last few days i seem to be able to eat a little more and haven't had heartburn. could this be a slip or the band losening up some since i have lost around 40lbs since the last fill???

oh and i don't have any pain unless i am stuck.:thumbup:

i seldom ever post but to read a lot on the board and have not really seen anyone with this problem

It sounds like the band has just loosened up since your last fill.

But FYI Instead of playing with "Fire" and risking Losing your band by causing a slip by keeping it too tight, Just go in next time your tight and TALK TO YOUR DOC !! tell him last time there too much was taken out and you could eat too much ask him to take out less.

how is he suppose to know that if you do not tell him ?

Instead you are risking your band ?being so tight you have heart burn is BAD NEWS. But it sounds like you know that.

Good luck , Sounds like you have decent restriction nwo
