I had two slips, small slips, so they suggested I get a new band since mine was one of the older ones. It hasn't helped my weight loss, and now I get a HORRIBLE shoulder pain if I eat or drink too fast.

I was banded 11/07 I lost 191 lbs. I gained back 50 which today I am going to try yet again to get rid of. I had a slight slip twice, that went back on its own. In sept they suggested maybe I get a new band since my was old. Well in my head I thought that would mean I would start losing again...nope just meant dr bills, oh and something I NEVER had before...pain in my left shoulder if I eat or drink too much or too fast. And it hurts like HELL! Anyway here I am back in the 2's that I was sure I would never see again. But today is a new day and I will try yet again to get this weight off.

Banded in 2007 and then again in 2015. Still can't lose any weight! Today I am going to try again! The 50 lbs I put back on has brought me so down I can't begin to tell you. I don't want to do anything, just like I used to be. When I was losing I was happy and had a great outlook. I can only hope I can get back on track

I found that I was getting into a lot of bad habits with my band and the scale was showing it. Then I had the unfill and all hell has broken loose! The 1/2 cc gave me nothing and they want me to wait four weeks! I can't I need help now! So I am going back next week instead. I have no restriction at all. My body is feeling this extra weight big time!

Ok my band went back!! I can't tell you have relieved I am! I guess it was a warning/wake up call! They gave me only 1/2cc and I have to wait 4 weeks for next fill. They said I have to take it slowly with the fills. All I know is I'm back on the road! Now to see how long it takes to lose what I gained over the last 6 weeks.

Unfortunately, we're never really cured of our eating obsession. Sucks, actually. My question is..... What is it that you've eaten in the last 6 weeks, that you couldn't allow yourself with a filled band? Bagels, full bowls of Pasta, whole sandwiches, big bites, large portions. I have just been OUT OF CONTROL! I am so embarrassed by the way I have been eating the last 6 weeks. I eat all day long, not because I'm hungry because I can...

Had an infill 6 weeks ago due to a band slip. I go tomorrow to see if it moved back. I pray it did because I have been out of control! I don't know what's the matter with me! All I keep saying is wow I haven't been able to eat that in 6 years... Yeah so now I'm up 20 lbs in 6 weeks! I am beyond discussed with myself! I can only hope tomorrow shows it went back and they can start filling me again... ????

Sorry to hear that, wondering if I have the same thing. Had an appointment for endoscopy next week and canceled it. Guess I better Re schedule it. Did you have any gurgling as well? Good luck! Hope all works out for you!

I was banded 11/07 went from 358 to 168...back up to 194. Now having issues, gurgling stomach, vomit during sleeping once in a while If I have over eaten. Somedays can't eat much others can eat a lot. Last night was bad I over ate at dinner and stomach gurgled all night and still this morning. Still feel full, yet I know there is nothing left in there. Trying some coffee for something warm And just making more noise and burping. Don't want to call my dr office because I am VERY unhappy with them. Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone else have gurgling after all these Years? FYI dinner was a hot dog(no bun) and about 4 TB rice a roni. Thanks!

I had VERY large arms so there was a lot of tissue removed. I had drains in for 12 days. Could not lift anything for 8 weeks I guess it all depends on how big your arms are. Good luck!
