    I have failed my band - SUPPORT GROUP

    Would also like to join your group. I really need some support. I was banded 2 years ago and did fairly well. Lost 140 pounds over 15 months.. was down to 158... but I have struggled with a band to tight for almost a year. My doc will not do a complete unfill only pulls a little off.. as a result of this and poor self control, I figured out how to eat past it... eating soft foods that go down easy and dont get stuck... bad thing is they are high calorie and foods I did not eat a lot of before.. so now I am back to 194 and very disappointed and frustrated... I read the post on pouches that are stretched and so I decided to go on liquids only for at least a week to see if I can shrink it back down... I have 4 cc band that has 2,6cc in it.. but when they did my last dye study I am VERY tight. I also need to start being more committed to exercise EVERYDAY... thank you in advance for your support and advice... lisa

    Oooops! Stretched pouch

    thanks for the advise, we sound like our problems are just alike.. I am on day 2 of liquids... I am so scared it will not shrink back down so reading your post gives me hope.. I have been so successful so don't want to gain it all back.. thanks again,

    Oooops! Stretched pouch

    i am dealing with a swollen pouch I think and cannot get my MD to take out the fluid, He says I am to tight and I know I am because I watch the xray and know there is extreme restriction, but I can eat what I want.. so, I think it has to be swollen. He says just to watch my portions, which is very hard because I can eat just like I did before the band and feel hungry 2-3 hours after eating.. I am 2 years post op and have lost 139 and have done so well since this started.. it first started with reflux then vomiting, now none of those problems just no restriction.. please help with your advise.. lisa
