Hi there, Well I'm new here. I was banded 3 1/2 yrs ago. Did okay at first, lost 60+ , then the last Yr started having horrible reflux. They said I was too tight so I ended up having 3 unfills, needless to say no more weight loss n actually gained a few. The reflux got so bad we ended up taking almost all fluid it of my band...I was afraid to get a fill again n now I've gained all my weight back , I've had enough and tomorrow I go back for a fill n try it again. I'm afraid my surgeon is going to tell at me, I'm ashamed n embarrassed but I need to do it for my health. I know now what I need to do, I have admitted I'm a food addict. My husband doesn't care what I weigh n think I've used that for an excuse, but is that a form of control on his part? His insecurity? Anyway, wish me luck tomorrow. I'm gonna make this site my new bff cuz I also realize I need the support!! L.

Thank you all for the great advice, my appointment went really good. It had actually been a year since I had unfill!! I thought it was only 6-7 months. Anyway,I gained back 30 lbs and still under my preop weight. I saw the dietician to get me back on track, she thinks I wasnt getting enough calories and nowhere near the Protein I needed, the surgeon was very nice and didn't yell at me lol. Again, thanks for all the input!! Happy thanksgiving!!! L
