Hi, this is my first time posting. I'm having a bit of a prob right now. I was banded Sept 07 and I have had a bit of a prob with fills. Either its too tight or too loose. I have never found a happy middle and I'm a bit confused about it. My last 2 fills my Dr. has giving me were a half of a cc each and they were ok until something got stuck one day about a month ago and then I couldn't really hold things down well. I would even would choke on Water in the mornings sometimes. Then the horrible acid reflux started. I know I should have called my Dr. after I noticed the prob but I just thought my stomach was irritated from the bad choking spell I had before. Anyways, I called him about 2 weeks after it all started and he was scared I had a slippage so he took my last 2 fills out (1 cc) and said to call him the following day if I had anymore probs...well the choking and the acid went away completely...but so did the restriction..It's been 2 weeks and i feel like im starving so I'm at a loss ..its either risk damaging my stomach or have no resection..I only have 2.5 cc's in my band....this cant be right .. any advice would be much appreciated Thanks, B

pretty much im doing the same and have heard all the same stuff...which is all really good advise ... i rather have no restriction than choke on Water ne more...imma try and get a "mini-fill" like the 0.2cc deal...before my year is up and i have to start paying for them =/ until then just try and not eat everything in sight...its really hard when yur hungry all the time...i really am trying to baby my band ..but baby is hungry -b
