So, it has been a while since I have posted anything, but I am in need of some feedback and support.

The day before Thanksgiving I became completely blocked and required an emergency unfill. I was freaked out at the thought of no restriction, but was in so much pain that I did not even care at that moment. Now the bad news.....

Since my unfill, I have gained 12 pounds!!! :tongue_smilie: And my doctor cannot get me back in for a fill until the 31st and when they do, they will only give me a small fill to start.

I have joined Weight Watchers to try to slow down this crazy weight gain, but even sticking 100% to plan, my body is gaining weight. Has anyone bee through this and do you have any suggestions??

Thanks for listening. :tongue:

Hey Melissa - sorry to hear you're having a hard time! I've regained about 15 the past few months by my own doing, and because I've been going it alone since Feb (will write and update in a separate post about that saga).

It sounds like you're doing a good thing going to WW - that's a big deal! Just hang tight and remember that you'll be back on track once you get your fill again.

Hang tough - you can do it!

Thanks for the thoughtful posts. I finally went in for my fill a couple days ago, but they would only give me 1cc for a total of 2cc (apparently I had 1cc in there still). Unfortunately, I still have no restriction whatsoever, but I am just trying to tough it out until I can have my next fill onthe 28th. It really stinks, but in someways it has been a lesson that I cannot rely entirely on my band to get this weight off. It has become vividly clear that I was getting by entirely on the sensation of being full rather than making mindful food selections. My goal is just to make sure that I do not get to the 200 pound mark again and just maintain until I can get to that spot where I can begin my loss again. I REFUSE TO LEAVE ONEDERLAND!!! :thumbup:

Thanks for the support and I look forward to reading your update pizzi. :thumbup:

Wow - well, it's a step in the right direction. It really is a good thing they haven't been more aggressive. You wouldn't want to get stuck and start all over again!

Hang in there - you can do this! And keep the good attitude!
