I was banded in July, 2006. I've lost about 60 pounds, but have had to be "unfilled" after each fill. I suffer from extreme acid reflux after fills and can't keep any food down. After 4-5 days of vomiting and literally starving, I always return to my doctor to remove the saline. I just had an upper GI done to see if something was wrong with the band, my stomach, or my esophogus...all were clear! Has anyone out there suffered from this or anything similar? I need help!

Hey, Cyndilou! Sorry to hear that you have difficulties, too, but it's so good to know I'm not alone! The last time we tried a fill, he put in 1 cc. I can't see that .25 or.50 cc's would made much of a difference, but I'll give it another shot! I'm determined to make this thing work! Thanks for the info.
