Not sure if this is what I'm experiencing. I have gained 20lbs I find all I could eat was chocolate I recently are 2 large candy bars I won't. I usually Luke everything up case it hurts. How I feel now is I can't eat anything I tried to eat cream of wheat and instantly I go in to puke it up. Great!! I guess is this how I lose that 20 lbs is this that dumping. Cause this hurts. Not fun will this go away?

I have been banded for 1 1/2 yrs I had only lost 40lbs. my last fill was in October 2015 I have gained 20 lbs and have moved away from my Doctor in Az. I now live in Washington. What I want to know is what physically happens when a band slips. Or am I just having trouble eating because I have gained 20 lbs. don't have insurance now, but will he had said something about NW weight loss in Washington.

Fills don't hurt I have had a fill every month since surgery thought I had to. That lasted for 13 months then stopped now I have gained 20 lbs the last 3 months. Now nothing goes down not even fluid something is wrong!! Guess if I can't swallow and eat will lose this 20 lbs In no time. Not sure what to do. Moved away from Doctor now in WA state. Guess will take it one day at a time.

Ok I had my surgery 9/2014. I lost 44 lbs within the first 2 months and then nothing. I have had a fill every month since I was banded. I thought I had to go in every month. I have had times where I was good going in and after left with a fill was always hungry. He thought at one point had a leak but was wrong. My band right now has 5cc in it when I went in it had 4.5cc it seemed tighter then. I guess I still don't fully under stand it. I started out before surgery at 340 7/2013. when I had surgery I was 290. Now I have been stuck at 243 for a year. I thought by just having the band I would lose at least 100 lbs. now a I don't know when I will have my next fill. So just going with the flow. I have fallen back into the bad food choices. I guess I have maintained 240 for a year so it's not a complete failure.

I had just read someone has 10cc In the band. My doctor has never gone over 5 he said people do good with 5cc. I want 10cc lol How much does it hold????

My fills are free have been getting them every month for the last 13 months not sure why my band stays with 5cc some months are completely different sometimes everything gets stuck then next I can eat everything. I wish I could see exactly what's going on in there

Ok people I have never had this numbing spray you all are talking about!! I feel I've been ripped off lol

I get a sharp like nerve pain down my left side neck and arm. It's after I over eat. I had told the doctor after surgery he said I needed to exercise more yeah right that's not it. I guess I will have to live with it and not over eat. I would like to exactly know what it is and if it's going to leave any permanent damage.

Mine is always flipped he tells me. Not sure if it's a bad thing. He says a needle flips it back I get a fill every month.
