Ughhh...same thing is happening to me. I had to get my band loosened due to some reflux issues b/c of viatiams I was not supposed to be taking. But I had amazing restriction, then I went back to the doctor to get it filled. I am .2 CC over of where I was before the unfill and there is no restriction. I feel it a little bit but then it pushes through and I can eat more. I had a barium swallow before my unfill and everything was fine with the band. And I feel fine, not like there was a slippage or anything. Doc fixed hatial hernia when I got the band and they pull out fluid everytime they do a fill so they know how much is in there. Can your band slip when you are loosened??? I have gained 10 lbs and buggin! In August it will be a year that I have the band, I have 50 lbs to go still! I hope there is no probelms because I hate surgery I am training for a triathlon which is requiring at least 2 hour workouts a day...do you think this has anything to do with my hunger levels and the band not staying tight?:embaressed_smile:
