I am glad I had the partial defill because I had an upper GI and the barium contrast was still in my pouch after 5 minutes. My surgeon said it kind of looks like it slipped but he wasnt clear. He said if it did, it wasn't enough to be concerned ( but I am concerned). I was up to 5.5 cc then had 0.5. Cc taken out of a 10 cc band. They warned me that it would be like starting all over, no matter how much they took out. I am really trying not to eat to much but it is really hard. I am ready to get another fill but I don't want to suffer or risk band slippage. They also told me that the same .5 cc put back on could have a totally different effect. I have already gained 5 lbs in 1 wk.. So many decisions.... Any advice ??
