For Michelle, the opriginal post-er:

Dear, this is very common! I'm surprised Dr. Ren did not discuss this with you. After any longterm unfill, scar tissue can fill in around the band, and it's then VERY VERY common to never be able to get as big a fill as before.

You can also never safely jump right back to a previous fill level - you have to go up slowly again and give your stomach a chance to get used to fills again, just like befoer. don't worry about the anmount of fill - you are too tight and in trouble because you're trying to keep a too-tight fill.

You have to be able to eat and drink enough to lose well, and the constant trouble is begging for a slip or erosion. PLEASE get an unfill to whatever fill level you need to, to keep your band safe.

For "READY" - please call your surgeon right away. you're begging for an infection, and these can cause a band erosions and require the band to be removed. Didn't I see someone who also had this happen, and lost her band? De Larla maybe?? renee
