First I was to tight, then loose then tight

I am wondering if anyone out there can help me, cause I don't know what to do anymore. I have a 10cc band that I got 9/26/06. I was at 5.5 cc in November and got a fill of 0.25 cc. Everything was going great and I was losing about a pound a week. Then the second week in Feb, I starting throwing up everything I was eating. I called the doc and cancelled my next appt, they asked why as I had not been there in 3 months and I explained what was going on and that I did not want a fill. He stated that he wanted to see me to make sure everything was OK. I went in and he said everything was fine, but that I was probably to tight. I said, I have had this fill for 3 months and everything was fine till now. He took out 0.25 cc. Since then I can eat anything and everything with no problems. I have not gotten sick or anything. So I went in 10 days ago for a fill, I had gained 4 pounds in 2 months. So he gave me a 0.25 cc fill, and ever since I have been having a horrible time eating, like it's taking me 2 hours to eat a meal. And I am getting sick at least once a day if not more (to the point my throat is hurting).

So there is the explaination, and now I need some help. What do I do? I am afraid if I go back and have another unfill I will just gain weight again. If I don't go back then I am gonna continue this throwing up and having a hard time eating. Please someone help me. I have already lost 81 pounds and I don't want to go backwards.

Maybe somewhere in between 0.0 and 0.25 is what you need. I know that even a small amount can make a big difference. Go back and specifically ask to have .1 removed and see if that makes a difference. You can't go on being sick all the time! Good LucK!
