I am exactly the same way you are. I was afraid to say anything about me having these problems, I thought I was the only one with these issues. I got down to 170 pounds losing 50 lbs. i gained 20 pounds back! I cant go out to eat with my friends, because im always in the bathroom. I went back to see my dr. and he took all but 1cc out of my band now he is filling it back up slowly. im up to3 1/2 cc and i dont feel like i have a band at all. thursday i go back in to have another fill, hopefully it will start working.
