What the heck happen???

Ok, I was banded in 10/08 have pretty much always been able to feel restriction I currently have 7.? cc in a 10 cc band and over the last 3 days I feel NO resrtiction. I can eat what ever I want and am always hungry.

This comes just after being so tight some days I could barley eat. My last fill was on 4/6.

YOU know that never clicked I was wondering why people would get loose after having restriction. IT makes so much more sense now :thumbup:

Well that makes me feel a little better. I thought the darn thing might have popped off some how. ha ha

It just scares me a little when I can't feel it.

Might call your doctor... for this experience to be so sudden and drastic. Of course if you have lost a bunch of weight since your last fill then that could also explain the loosening.

However, the reason I say this is because I have heard that erosion can be painless and cause people to feel little or no restriction.

That's probably not it, but better to be safe then sorry!
