I had the exact same problems you are describing. I had my band placed in 2010, lost 110 lbs, gained back about 40. I lived with reflux and choking at night bc of cost and insurance. I had to see a new surgeon at my same clinic and he just decided (without looking under flouro) I needed a complete unfill and my band had "exceeded it's life" and I needed to try not to depend on it. Grrr! I have not had a problem with reflux since the unfill and i could feel instant relief when he did it. He told me to just come back if it gives me more problems and he will remove it.It has been 1 year and 90 lbs gained back later and I am going to see a new surgeon at a different clinic.
