Hi All,

I was banded in April 08 and have gone down from a size 26 to a 14. My weight loss is slow, but definitely happening and I am basically happy with the whole process. However, since my last fill, I have had sliming, pb, and beyond. It is not consistent. Some days I am able to eat with no problem and other days I can't keep one bite down all day. My surgeon thinks I should just continue to try to modify my eating to be slowerand hold out awhile longer, but I am starting to really wonder if I just need a small unfill. My jaw hurts, I have a headache everyday and I am starting to feel an emotional toll.

I really would love some advice and input from those of you who have made this decision. Is it normal to experience this? Am I sabotaging myself by unfilling? Am I putting myself at risk by ignoring that I am too tight so I can lose faster?

HELP!!!!!!!!!

Jules

Jules, are you still closely following all the rules? If you are and are still PB'ing, then I think you're probably too tight.

I think you know you are too tight. I would insist on a slight unfill immediately!! You shouldn't be suffering like that and by now you know how to eat after you've come this far.
