i was banded 11/07 and still only have 1/2 ml of saline.. yes half a ml. Staying at the same weight now for over a year, which is frustrating. Just have days during PMS that I can hardly eat without it coming back up, been scared to get more put in. I'm on here now b/c of burning sensation in my throat. Calling the dr. tomorrow, but he fixed a hiatal hernia when he placed the lapband.. so i would hope it isn't a reflux problem. Just can't afford the price it takes to unfill/fill to see if that is the problem. Any other suggestions?
