I am having the same problem with my band. I was banded 4 years ago and I went for a fill last week because I flelt that the band was not tight enough, I was eating everything and never felt full. I am also gaining wait. When the doctor saw my band he was very surprised because he said the band was fine, it had not slipped and was tight, but my esophcus has stretched to double it's size and that is why I can eat just about everything. He emptied my band completedly and now I have to wait about a month before I can go back for a fill. I don't know what to do now, I don't want to keep gaining weight. If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate any advise.
