5 yrs out---restriction has been greatly diminished over last 1.5 yrs -I have gained weight and wonder if anyone else knows if the lessened restriction is a result of esophageal dilation???

The latter. My band is almost full and the past 3 fills have made no difference. My surgeon does not use a flouroscope for fills, so no pictures have been taken of my band. He has not even suggested this as a possible answer to my problem. He suggested a conversion to gsv as an option. He has not offered me any answers as to why I do not have restriction anymore. Just gathering information... I do not have the money to pay for another surgery so I am trying to make the best of the one I have...
