Thanks everyone for responding. No flouro this time. Now that's a scary thought but I don't think it's a slip but I guess you never know. I'm going to ride in out for a few days to a week and see how it goes. If it doesn't get better I will get unfilled. I guess it's back to the basic's again.....

Hello, I haven't been here for awhile. I lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off until about 1 month ago. I just noticed that I felt my restriction was almost gone. Went to the doctor for a fill and to see if I had lost any of the fill. No, I was still at 1.5cc so I got a small fill to 1.8cc. I had gained 10 pounds and was really upset. I have since lost 3 and am determined to get off the last 7 again. The problem I am having now is acid reflux. Darnit....I know how bad this can be and the only way I might be able to rid myself of it is to get unfilled but I don't want too. I just find it strange that .3cc's can make that much of a difference. I'm so bummed. I have such a fear of gaining my weight back. It's easy in the begining but later on things can change for us. I just need to get motivated again and stick to a lap band diet...which I will admit...during the holiday's I have been eating the wrong foods. Has anyone else had this happen to them. Band restriction lessening but the fill is still there and acid reflux? Anyone banded over 2 years too? I'm going to take my acid reflux meds that I've had but never have had to use and see how it goes. Watch what I eat and try to get my pouch empty when I go to bed and see. Thanks everyone. Belinda

Hello everyone, I've been lucking for almost a year and finally registered. My one year anniversary was 12-4. I have lost exactly 100 pounds. I'm 5'8". I started at 255 and am 155 now. My goal is 150 but I don't really care if I get there because I'm thrilled with the way I look right now. I love my band and am so thankful I was able to afford it. I was a self payer and it was costly but so worth it. I just had a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants and some lipo 5 weeks ago to complete the new me. Thanks for letting me share. Belinda 12/4/03 255/155/150 1.7cc fill

Thanks everyone. It's still kinda hard to post that bikini picture. Last year at this time I was 255, just can't believe it sometimes. You guys are funny. I hate thongs on me but would love to see you guys in one anytime.....LOLOLOL

You go girl. Isn't it the best feeling in the world. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself because I can't eat some of the foods I loved so much like a big fat burrito. Having to watch my husband eat it when I can barely do a bite. I can't do breads or tortilla's very well. But then I get on the scale or try on clothes and it's all so worth it.

Rebeccalee, Dr. Cirangle really chewed out mine too. I have to go for my yearly and I see them in Sacramanto. Well, Dr. C was this month so I'm waiting till next month because he doesn't believe in PS until your 2 years out. I know he'll yell at me...LOL Belinda

You guys are the best. Thanks again Rebeccalee. I had to uplaod the bikini picture separately. I'm 5'8", 44. Dr. Freedin Auburn California did my TT, BL wit implants and lipo of my flanks. I do have before picture's of my ugly stomach before, if you guys want to see but they are ugly. I lost about 10 more pounds after the surgery and am a size 7,8,9 depending. I need a tan though....LOL. Belinda

Here's the bikini...YIKES! Not too bad for an 44 year old.Belinda

Here is my before picture and one just taken so you can see the results of my plastic surgeries. I'm in a bikini....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I know they are going to be huge again so I'm hoping Rebeccalee can make them same for me again. Thanks by the way and I just wanted to say Dr. Feng did my band surgery and Dr. Cirangle...aka, Dr. GQ has done 2 of my fuills. Small world. The plastic surgery was the worse pain I have ever had but it was worth it at the end. The 1st week is hell and then it's starts getting better. I would highly recommend anyone do it...the pain is short lived and the results are forever. Belinda

Yikes....it's way too big...sorry. I'll have to figure out have to make them smaller. Belinda
