I have been on a one for about 4 months. They said I was too tight so they loosened me the week after Thanksgiving. I have now gained 9 pounds in 3 weeks. I am eating healthy and still working out. I go in for a fill the 11th. I feel awlful and am regarding my band. I'm almost to my year mark. I had lost 65 pounds now it is 56 pounds. I still have 44 more pounds to go.

I have the same issue. I was banded January 28, 2011. I started at 236 pds and was down to 170 pds I haven't lost any weight since either in about 4 months. I was apparently too tight. Which is beyond me how I didn't lose a single pound when I wasn't eating anything without getting sick. They took 1cc out about 2 weeks ago and I'm already up to 178 pds. I'm am eating healthy and still working out an hour to 2 hours a day atleast 5 days a week. It is very frustrating. I am almost to my year mark and will have to start praying for fills. I have lost more weight then this on medifast and it came back. I am scared that this is occurring now. If you find something to do then let me know. My dog just chews me out saying I'm hiding something I'm eating from him, but I'm not.

I'm having a similiar problem. I haven't lost any weight since August and was banded in January 2011. I was too tight upuntil about 2 weeks ago when they did an unfill. I wasn't able to hold down any food and still wasn't losing. I was willing to suffer throwing up if I was losing, but I wasn't. I am now eating everything in sight. But they said I was swollen. Hopefully it straightens up cause I still have 40 pounds to my goal

I also learned that it isn't always food stuck. I had a severe middle back pain a few weeks ago. I thought I was dying and I hadn't eaten in for hours. I felt like I needed to throw up. After about 3 hours of this horrible pain I threw up this long green thing. I asked the doctor and he said it was a mucus strip and gas. He said that drinking out of a straw and drinking during meals causes this. It is very hard for me not to drink, but since that episode I haven't. You will learn everything. I'm not quite at a year and am still learning. I can't seem to lose anything and have been that way since late August.

I haven't lost any weight since August. I wasn't able to hold down hardly any food, but wasn't losing. I went in last week and they said the reason I wasn't losing I was too tight. They let out 1cc. I have already gained 5 pounds. Is this normal? Will the weight come off? I am eating healthy, but my body hasn't had food in awhile. I am almost at my year mark and am still 30 pounds from where I want to be. They kept saying I've done great. I've lost 65 pounds, but have lost more and faster on medifast 3 years ago of course that came back as soon as I stopped. I am still paying $300 a month for my band and I'm not happy.

I am at the 10 month mark and haven't lost any weight in 4 months will fills once a month. Last night I had such severe back, stomach, and chest pain that I could not move. I tried gas strips as well as water. I kept dry heaving. This all started with mid back pain. After about 3 hours of this I finally threw up something long and green. The only thing I had eaten was fish that I had already threw up early in the day and soup that I was able to keep down. This is the 2nd time this has happened , but the last time it was just mid back pain and no throwing up green stuff. I go in for a fill Wednesday, but am ready for them to take the band out. I am sick of throwing up all the time and not losing anymore weight. I've told the doctor and he acts as if this is normal. I haven't been able to eat a solid meal in over 6 months and that was only because he loosened it when my stomach and esophagus were swollen. Does anyone else have these issues?

I don't know if I'm not getting enough protein or it's the throwing up, but my teeth are turning blackish and my hair is still falling out. They keep saying eat meats. I can only eat fish I can't hold down anything else. I have pearly white teeth and this is a hard price to pay especially since I haven't lost any weight in over 4 months. I'm almost to my year mark. I started at 236 and am 173, but not happy. I have lost more weight on diets in the past. I'm still throwing up at anything heavy I eat or anytime I eat in in the early hours of the day. I am also working out like crazy and am not even losing inches. Any suggestions?

In August they let it out because my stomach and esophagus were swollen. As soon as it went down they said I needed to be tightened. Meat wise I can only eat fish. I am always hungry I just can't hold down most solids unless it is later in the day. I can't eat any solids for breakfast or lunch. Thanksgiving was awlful. I took 2 bites of turkey and got sick. I seriously feel like I ate healther before the surgey. My doctor said I'm doing great, but I haven't lost a single pound in 4 months. I have 40 more pounds to go before my goal and 20 before I was the weight I was 3 years ago. I want to get this off before January when I start paying for my fills. I just don't want this at the cost of my teeth. I paid around $10,000 for jaw surgery for an under bite and braces about 5 years ago and don't want my teeth getting decayed.

try gas strips. They worked for me.

Thank you. I can't hold down much and haven't been able to the entire time. I want to go to the dentist but my husband lost his job and he won't have insurance until May. I read somewhere not to brush after I throw up. I'm going to increase my protien shakes.
