I had originally lost to 111 lbs. two years ago, but have slowly regained 20 lbs. I am so unhappy with myself! I am going to get a fill and try to relose the weight I have gained. Any support or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Has this happened to anyone else?

How the Lap-Band actually works, fills and refills
parothwell replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks for the great post. You sound very knowledgeable about the fill process. At first I thought you were probably a surgeon, but later read you are a patient. I am 2 and a half years post op and have been having trouble getting my fills to a desirable spot. It was helpful to hear that a smaller adjustment may be what I need. Thanks so much for your input. -
I am having reflux with any band tightening. I am wondering if anyone knows if I definitely should have my band checked under fluoro or with EGD? My doctor has never mentioned it and I am kind of concerned. Thanks for any help.

I am having trouble with reflux and a little weight gain (15 lbs. in a little over a year) If I have my band tightened, I have terrible reflux. I have never ONCE had my band evaluated under fluoro. Do any of you think I should insist on it? My doctor acts like it is no big deal, so I don't want to worry unnecessarily. Also, mainly, don't want to gain the weight back.
