fitkit 2 Posted June 20, 2012 My band slipped in Oct. & I had all the Fluid removed. I had just switched to a new Dr. My band has now been refilled but it is NOT the same. I can over eat if I let myself. My Dr said my band is in an "ok" spot. Anybody else have this happen? I have NO restriction at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karewpah 173 Posted June 20, 2012 I have suffered Aslin and repositioning surgery over a year ago...I did notice a change in restriction...fortunately I have only 5.4 in a 10cc band so I've got lots of room to play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted June 20, 2012 Mine slipped about 5 mths ago. About a month ago, the dr took out about 1/2 of my fill and let it go for 3 weeks. He told me he'd put it all back in. I went last week to get refilled and he decided to fill me slowly. Only put 1cc in. I have about 7cc in a 14cc band. I've gained about 5 lbs since they took the Fluid out - no restriction whatsoever after my 1cc fill. I'm going to CA for 2 weeks next week, so I can't get another fill till I get back. I'm hungry all the time and I'm eating way out of control. I love my band - when it's working properly. I've lost over 100 lbs and was only 11 lbs from goal. Now it seems like I'll never get there. I knew it was too good to be true that he'd fill me back up all the way. I have to drive 6 hrs round trip and pay $160 each fill too. Hope I get back on track soon. I gave away all my jumbo clothes so I'll have nothing to wear. Already noticed I didn't need a belt yesterday with my jean shorts. Uh oh. Need to get control of myself before I gain anymore. I let the band do all the work. I don't have a healthy diet at all. Good luck to you. Just wanted to letcha know you're not alone! Marci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mashtater 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Hi and sorry , but just hang on. I had my band unfilled in November. I am up to 6 cc but have no restriction. I am having faith that this fill on Friday will be the one to give me restriction. I do agree there is a big difference in the band before and now, but Im hoping for the best. Good luck to you.
