This Is Strange.....

[keona 2]

In July I was sitting at 5.8cc in my band. I was rather right but it was where I needed to be. I got really sick and thought I had a slippage. Went to dr- all was good. He removed 2cc to get inflammation down. Since then I have put on weight as I had no restriction. I have slowly been filling back up and am now back at the 5.8cc but I don't feel as tight as I was previously??? I find this strange.

I agree with you, Keona. I have had the same problem over the last year. I had a revision in October of 2011. I am at 5cc and my surgeon is reluctant to increase as I have trouble with a tighter band. I, also, have gained, but he isn't too worried as he felt I was too thin for my age. he just wants me to control my snacking! I am trying, but it is not easy. At least, I have leveled out. Best wishes to you, I hope that you gain back your restriction. i have restriction, but not as much as before. Karen

Once they take out Fluid you cant get back like you were before. The band is stretched for so long it wont go back to where you were before without more fluid
