I can speak from experience. I was banded on March 9, 2009 where then several months later I got to a sweet spot, I had 7 cc in my 10 cc band. At this point, I hadn't had a fill since Feb. 2011. And that fill was so dinky, I'd even hardly call it a fill was like .2ccs. Well, little less than a month ago I was having issues to the point where I couldn't keep much of anything down except for crap. So a month ago, went to the doctors and they took out 3 cc at that time. During this time I was on liquids for 2 weeks then solids the other two and of course gained 7 lbs, because I had no restriction at all even though had 4 ccs in the band. In the meantime, the following week after the unfill, I had to have my gallbladder taken out and this was the root of most of my evil. So yesterday, I went back for a fill. I knew I was going to gain, because after the unfill everything went through the band and I felt zero restriction. So went back yesterday and got 2.5 put back in plus added 8 lbs. I'm feeling very sore and my port area is bruised (never like this before.) I am frustrated, sore, disappointed that I have gained in all of these years, and my husband points out how fat I've gotten by saying I need to lose weight. So how do I get myself out of this rut! Anyone else who have had the band this long go through this?
