I found this site while looking for info on dilation of band. Found it to be very informative.
I was banded in Sept 2006
I had a good wt loss 1st 1 1/2 yr but last 6 months gained 4# & did not realize the acid was an indication of band dialation. So last week they emptied the band & will start refilling in 4 weeks ( hopefully) I'm 69y/o & this was the best thing I ever did, I received a lot of good information from this site. Thanks Bev
