I had the same problem a while back.. I was too tight and my band slipped. Now I had an unfill and waiting patiently to heal to see if it moved back.. I would call your doctor to check

Well just got back from the dr. and he took 2 cc out.. Just as I thought I had slipped just a little he said and that he will check back in a month. He said I might need revision surgery. He said I had been to tight for too long was the problem? Anyone have experience with this? I am happy with my weightloss so far this is a little scary. Just scared I may gain weight back/

I hope it does. Do you know what the recovering time is for it? Is it the same as the original surgery?

I have been banded a year on the 13th !! I started at 220 and now I am at 165 ... so 55 lbs.. I think we are on the right track.. I am so much happier!!!! What were your symptoms that your band was to tight? I think mine might be a little tight.. I have an appt on tuesday of next week to see if there is a problem . I have a lot of tightness in my chest area after eating. I especially feel it when I am laying down.

Last year at this time I was 220lbs... This year I am 165lbs... I am so happy, and love the compliments I am getting from people I have not been able to see in a while!!!

I love TACOS!!!! Hard Shells and tostadas are easiest to go down .. I do not tolerate tortillas unless i can rip it apart a little by little. I just don't get soft shells anymore, I miss them but I like losing weight more !!!

thanks so much

I have had 3 fills and I have reached my sweet spot. I get things stuck especially in the morning or if I have waited to long to eat. I used to be an emotional eater and now that is not the case sometimes I feel like I forget about eating.. Life is so much better now.

Last year at this time I was 220lbs... This year I am 165lbs... I am so happy, and love the compliments I am getting from people I have not been able to see in a while!!!

I received my 3rd fill on Tuesday and all I can say is wowsers. I hardly eat and when I do I feel full yippee.. Is this what I have been waiting for? The second day was extremely hard I kept getting stuck. I have to retrain myself again.. :thumbup:

Yeah well I have made it through weekend.. things are going better.. I need to chew more because I have been getting stuck.. and somethings I was eating before is out of the question. I think I will see how things go from here

I just had my 3rd fill.. it is impossible for me to eat and drink at the same time..

Yes, I was talking to my mom about that last night I am gonna give it the weekend and go from there :thumbup:

Today I got my 3rd fill I had surgery January 13, 2010. I really have messed up the last few months eating whatever not paying attention I have maintained which the doctor said was good but I am disappointed with myself. I started this journey at 220lbs and now am at 179. Going forth I am making a promise to myself to be faithful to myself and loose 50 more lbs.

I have had my band for nine months now I have tried movie popcorn and it goes down just fine but I feel really sick afterwards.

I work 2 nights a week at work, I am there till like 3 in the morning .. I am so tired I could almost fall asleep, I take a nap before work and still have this problem. I used to turn to soda before my surgery to get over this hump no I do not know what to do to get a little caffeine boost don't really care for tea or coffee any ideas? Thank you

since the band I have drank cranberry vodka... Not sure of the calories or what not but seems ok to me..

I am so depressed about my weightloss I am basically not losing just staying the same I need a totally turn around I need to get back to the basics does anyone think I should go back to the liquid diet for week? I have heard of people doing that I just need to get my butt in gear. I feel a lot of restriction in the morning but the rest of the day i am ok usually I get things stuck sometimes that really hurts .. any advice I could sure use it.

Thanks for all your support you all have great ideas thank you so much.. :redface:

I was banded in January of 2010 and I have 2 fills. I have lost totally since the whole thing started in December is like 50 lbs I know I should be happy with that but I just want more. :redface: I am going to start over this week starting monday.

I have learned one important lesson today macaroni is not my friend nor will it ever be again. I had the worst stuck ever.

Hi tomorrow i am getting my second fill how did anyone feel after their second fill I hope this helps me I feel as if I could eat anything I know I eat less than I ever did before but still I don't think i lost much this month I guess I will find out tomorrow. I really haven't been using the scale at home just weighing at the dr.

This is the hardest thing for me it is a hard habit to break I feel once I have some more restriction it will be easier.

I got my first fill on Tuesday it was a pretty amazing experience to watch my surgeon do that. I feel restriction I feel like I am eating less but I feel there is still room for more . I haven't got anything stuck yet thankfully I am sure that will be pretty scary.

I got my first fill on tuesday it was pretty interesting. I haven't really had in problems with I do fill full faster and do not feel as hungry as fast.
