I had my band emptied after a csection and tubligation due to reflux issues and gained nearly 20 lbs and I had it filled gradually up to 6 cc and for weeks I aspirated and fluid came up my nose at night while tried to sleep. I was choking on my own mucous and it was terrible I lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks but was suffering so bad it wasn't worth it do yesterday I went back and they emptied 2 cc from my band and I feel great but sm worried I will gain again. I'm trying my best to work hard on maintaining but it's very hard
