Hiya, I'm new here. I've had my band about 5-6 years now. I've had countless fills and aspirations. I'm totally out of my 2 yr 'free' adjustments so have to pay £100 each time now. I seem to have it too loose so can eat an Atkins style diet which I don't stick to so then have it tight and then can only eat soft stuff so just not losing weight. I eat too much and graze on big meals. The band has not helped to cure my 'head' and the issues I have with food so I'm always cheating the band. Waste of money for me I feel, I was even looking at posts about self filling/aspirating to save on the money and to stop getting told off by my nurse! Don't know whether to just have it emptied and have done with it. I'm not a yo yo dieter as have never stuck to a diet long enough to actually lose weight! I put the weight on after having my kids and was told to eat full fat food to make my milk richer but now I can't break to habit and food addictions. Totally miserable and fat...can't have a bypass as brother in law died after one which went wrong. Gggggggrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
