I just signed on today and I am so happy to have found you guys. I did mine in 2005 and had lost 80 pounds but gained 40 back. I just got a fill and am at 5.5cc but it is not working all that great. I think it is time for me to go back to the gym. It was just so easy for me to loose the 80 pounds in 8-months with out any exercise. I guess the time has come for me to start. I am paranoid what will happen when I reach my max of fills at 10cc. I’m scared and fell like I will gain all the weight back. Have any of you experienced an upper pouch inflammation and needed to release all liquids so your stomach can rest? That happened to me and I had zero fills for 4 months and that is how I gained the weight. Please advise……

My friend you are not alone. I had the same situation happen to me but I ganed 40 pounds. You did much better then I did. I just got my first fill 3 days ago but it seems like I need to add to my fill. I feel hungry all day long and I am sad over all because I failed and allowed myself to gain 40 pounds. It is much harder the second time around. I almost feel like there is no band in side of me. I hope to teach myself better habbits. I wish you luck. Are you almost at the max of your band, is there room for you to do more fills?

I’m sad, does this is mean when we reach 10cc we are on our own? I am at 5.5cc and I need another fill. I had lost 80 pounds and gained 40 back with in months because I had an upper pouch inflammation and needed to release all fluids. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is there still hope for me?

Rednonela, Did your fill work? Has your doctore told you what happens when you reach the max of fills? Are we on our own there after with out the help of the band?

Ladies, I am in the same situation. I had my band done 5 years ago and and everything was perfect. looked and flet great. I started to eat more and repeated fills but it did not work. I took n e-ray and it showed that my upper pouch was inflatted. My doctor needed to relase all liquids for 4 months to realse all presure. Two days ago I did another xray and the results were good so I got my first fill. I probobly need to go back because there is not too much restriction. You should ask your doctor to do an xray of you esaphogus and upper pouch. SuusanG - what happened? What is the next step your doctor will take. My adjustments are not working any more.
