I have also been banded for three years. I've lost right at 110 pounds. I went almost two years without a fill and never gained any weight. A few weeks ago I started feeling like I needed to start losing again so I made an appt to get filled. I was filled on a wednesday and in the ER on X-rays showed no slippage, so they treated me for gastritis and esophagitis. That's been a little over a week ago and I still have lots of pain right after I eat. I am able to eat band is not to tight. I'm hoping it's just my stomach getting use to the fill.
