I hear you! I am in the same situation. Being addicted to food is horrible especially the way it runs your life. If you have any suggestions for me please let me know. I am a big fat failure too. :thumbup:

I was banded June of '07 and have been successful up until this summer. I started at 298 my lowest was 237 and I've gained 20 back. I just got a fill a month ago and can't stop drinking while eating and have no motivation to exercise. I have all intentions of following the rules but my obsession food is getting the best of me. HELP!!!!! :smile2: I feel like a big fat failure. Any suggestions?

I think it could be part of the problem. I will have to check into getting another fill. At one point my band would not have let me eat much at all no matter if I drank while eating or not.

What did you find out from your doctor? I am having the same exact issues. My band has stopped working and I have no restriction. When my 10cc band was at 3.75cc it was perfect but then I went in for another fill and it didn't work. My doctor took me in and gave me a fill under xray to make sure it was filling correctly and it was. I am so upset. I can not stop eating b/c I can!!!! HELP!

I was banded June of '07 and have lost 60 lbs. I still have 60 to go but am getting discouraged. Up until a few months ago I was getting excellent restriction. The restriciton started to "wear off" so I went in for a fill. :sad_smile:The last two fills I had haven't made much of a difference in my eating. I go again next week for a fill but I am already worried it will not work. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do to get out of this rut?

How many fills have you had and what were the amounts in them?
