I have had my band for just over 2 years. I have lost a very good amount of weight 130lbs to be exact but I need to lose more. I have never followed instructions well and honestly didnt treat my band very well. 2 years later I have 9 cc's in a 12 cc band and I have no restriction at all. I did but now I don't. I want to know about starting over. I was thinking maybe I stretched my pouch out alot..... I still have about 60lbs to lose and I feel very much like a failure. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know if it would be possible to take all my fluid out for awhile to let my pouch shrink back down?? Please any suggestions would help.
