I have had my band since late 05 and had lost about 70 pounds overall. I finally convinced myself to go in for another fill-which was very hard to do. I had not been in for a fill since 2006 but I had lost about 50 pounds since my last fill. I have been getting reflux about 1 time every 2 weeks mainly if we ate dinner late for several nites in a row. So I finally go in for a fill and the dr tells me that it has very slightly stretched. In his words "its not too big of a deal" but he took all of my fill out and told me to come back in a couple weeks. I havent thrown up in probably a year, I would get full somewhat fast but I have a bad habbit of drinking while eating. How bad can this be if I really didnt have symptoms of slippage and is slippage the same as streching it out a little? I am set to go into the Dr next tuesday for hopefully a fill, but I am stressed and have gained about 7 pounds. Can someone pull me back in from the cliff I feel like I am on?
Lastly, I am new here and I am glad I found this place.
