too tight.... again and again and again



Recommended Posts

I need help!!!! I was banded May 2009, and have since lost about 93-94 pounds... in December, i had to take pills, and cut them up, which irritated my band. I didn't give it time to heal, and for over 6 months, I was throwing up everything I ate. I had an unfill at the end of June, and let myself heal, then 2 weeks later I had a fill (not as full as before, but a fill). Since then, the band has once again gotten too tight, and I have had another unfill. Now, the band is once again too tight... What is going on? Did the irritation just not have a chance to heal properly, or is something wrong? I was tested for a slipped band, and it's not slipped. It's located perfectly. It's caused more problems in the last 10 months than it has done good, and I'm seriously thinking about having it removed... PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried completely unfilling and starting over....gradually and slowly like you did when you first got your band??? Just a thought, but maybe going back to Clear Liquids, then Soups, mush...etc...and reintroduce food to your system....really slow like 6 weeks. Hope things get better for you.
