I realized that no matter what , I couldn't eat in the morning. So I made the hard decision to have my band unfilled and do it on my own for a while. Has anyone done this and how was your results?

For different reasons, I had all the fill taken out about a month ago. I was having reflux so bad I couldn't keep much down. My stomach had gotten so swollen that I finally made an appointment with the doc. I had the fill out (8cc's) for two weeks and put on 10 pounds. I sort of allowed myself to go a bit wild. I actually at a sandwich, something I haven't done since getting banded. I got a refill back up to 7 cc's and am struggling with maintaining my portions, etc. I will be getting another fill next month...I'm putting it off due to some traveling and activities that I just don't want any complications.

I did feel an enormous amount of restriction with my refill. That lasted about a week and a half. It was great.

You look fabulous, though.
