I have the same issue, i have gained 20 lb and excersicing everyday still no luck. I am tired of filling and unfilling. I dont think my Dr. Doing it for money i guess this is how band works on certain people. I have no idea what to do? If you found answer pls let me know. Don't give up

How many times we have to go through this? I had banded 2009 and since then i am in constant every 3 or 4 months go for fill or unfill? I am about to give up. I fill 1 cc i get stuck, remove it i can eat easily and keep on gaining weight. Is it normal? Anyone else goes through this up and down? Sometimes i feel shame going back for fill or unfill. Please advise me. I have gained 20lb back. And it is making me depress. Pls help if you can??

I am very confused about fill, I was banded 2009 and I have 2to5 fill and infill within last 4 yrs, lost and gained, lost and gained. I had fill two weeks ago 3 cc in 3.5 cc . I feel restrict one day and another day no restriction at all. Is any one like this? One day feel not hungry the other day I can eat huge pls help.

I have 5 cc band and 3 months ago I filled with .5 so now I am at 3 cc but for last 3 weeks I have a hard time to eat any solid food I am confused I was fine suddenly got tight. I am PB 4 to 5 times a day I have an appointment next Thursday just wondering how much should I remove? It is costly every time I fill or un fill. Please help any suggestion? I don't want to be loose I just wanted to be able solid food I can keep liquid not creamy liquid but no matter I eat slow and chew my food seems like stuck and doesn't go down.

It's too early, when I had my band it took me almost 3 to4 months several fill and unfilled. Weight goes up fast but comes down slow. I would check with Dr and see if you can get fill maybe .5 cc start small. I love bread and I usually toast it very well so it's crunchy and I chew it. It takes time lapband has his own brain and takes time to get a hang of it. For two years I had PBS finally two months ago I am ok with my fill I don't get hungry often and I eat solid food just be patien. I was banded May 2012 I lost 35lb and gained 10lb between up and down .

It happen to me, they unfilled 1cc because I was dehydrated and I gained 10 lb and went back had .8 filled two weeks ago and didn't loose any weight, scare to go back and not sure to wait longer or not. Gaining weight is nightmare for me I stopped gaining after last fill but no weight loss. Frustrated and confuse

I had my fill two weeks ago feel some restriction but no weight lost, how long I have to wait I know I am eating less and I am less hungry but no weight loss. Please advice if you experience same situation.

I found surgeon in San Diego which does fill he is an excellent Dr. And very reasonable price. I use to go to TJ have fill not safe and same price as one in San Diego area. His name is Dr. Powell wonderfully person and highly recommended. He does tummy tuck, lipo and very reasonable

I had fill two month ago beacause It was too tight, i couldn't hold any thing and he took 1cc of of 3 cc. since then I gained 10 lb and scares me not sure go for fill or not? everytime I go it cost too much and in other hand gaining weight is worse. Please help me and let me know if you had experience same thing.

Do you happen to have his number? Thank you so much

Does anyone knows any other place just do Fill? Cardiff center web site is down and I don't think they are in business. Please let me know I live in North county San Diego and have a hard time to find fill DR. I had my LapBand in Tijuana and don't want to go there for fill. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelet me know.

this is ripoff even without insurance, not so many band center and Dr's taking advantage.Try to find band center in your area, it's very easy procedure and should not cost that much.

I was banded 21/2 yrs ago and had several fill and unfill till 5 months ago I started vomiting and not holding anything, I got to my ideal weight and did not want to loose any so I went back and my Dr unfill 1/2 cc I was fine till last month came down with flu and severe herniated disk on my neck which I had to take medication. last two week again I can't hold anything down and lost 10 lb. I have no energy and some day cant even hold liquid . I have no Idea why this happen when I read other peoples blog mostly having problem getting hungry and can eat solid food I have only 3 cc and every 6 month or so its get tighter and need to unfill is this normal? I hate to go back to Dr its in Mexico and driving is tough for me any suggestion. If I wait it get better? please respond if you had same experience. Is band have their own mind? I am confuse and worry.

Thank you so Much, My husband is going to drive me today to Tijuana and get unfill. Hopefully it will help. its like roller coaster but I am happy to be light I lost 45 lb from 185 to 140 My ideal weight .... Thanks
