I had my last fill at 103kg(227lbs). I have been cruising along for a couple of months now with great restriction and have got down to 97kgs(213lbs). Over the last 2 weeks or so I have noticed the restriction going away and I am eating more and more each day. Today I thought I would give bread a try to see whether I could have it now or not. Well it went down fine. At dinner time tonight I had what I usually do but was starving again 1 hr later. I know this means I probably need another fill right? Would this be because I have lost weight since my last fill and my stomach has shrunk some? What concerns me is after the last fill I developed heartburn after I eat...is getting another fill going to make it worse? What do you think I should do? I am already at 8.9 mls in the VG band...I dont have a great deal to play with, and I am still relatively early in my journey *sigh*. Any advice or explanation greatly appreciated

I think you should go in to find out how much fill you have in your band. From other threads I gather that it can slowly disappear for some reason. You may have less in there than you think.

I'm not sure if getting another fill will make the heartburn worse - I would think that's a sign of too much fill, so maybe a trip in to see the doc is in order either way.

These bands are great, but they're so fickle! Good luck!

My restriction has done the same, Kelly. I've had this current fill since 01 August. It was great at first, but slowly wearing off. I don't know about the VG band, but I know in this one I've had good luck with finding restriction on 0.1cc added.

Are you on anything for the heartburn? When I started getting it several months ago, the doc prescribed me a daily heartburn medicine that really helped...
