Your story reminds me of my good friend who had been banded for 4 months, and although she had lost weight (5kg) she was working hard on her diet and exercise all the time. She had 6 fills in this time which was suppossed to equal 7.5ml in a 10ml band. She kept saying she felt no restriction which just made no sense to us (her support friends). 2 weeks ago she had a barrium swollow and CT which showed the band sitting anterior to the stomach. Somehow, although her surgeon had been happy with the band placement at the time of insertion and with her barrium swollow post theatre, it would appear that the band has never been around the stomach at all. No wonder she was feeling like this proceedure was more work than she thought. Anyway, now she is rebooked for November and her weight loss journey will really kick in. I just thought I would share this story to show sometimes the unthinkable could be the answer your band is not working for you and with you.
