Help I don't think my band is any good.

[forwardlooking 36]

I was banded in Nov 2013 and as I recovered I did real well loss 50 pd. I have a 14cc band I have had at least 6 fills and since the first of the year I can eat anything and everything, and as much as I want to. Starting to gain. My band is just up to 9cc.. I have never felt any of the things I hear written here. Any suggestions? I hate to complain to the nurse that does the fill I am afraid of an over fill.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Well congratulations on the 50 lb weight loss !! I would see your Dr, asap if you are able to eat as much as you want. The Dr can help you more in person than we can on this forum. Good luck !!!

I agree with Pink, but you should ask for a fluoroscopic fill. That's where they do a barium swallow and watch where it goes and how much restriction your band is giving you?

And I understand. I was banded November 2011 and didn't get to the green zone till June 2012. So you're a month behind where I was in band months. I was very frustrated too but my 6th fill did it for me. Talk to your Dr and not a nurse or anyone lower in the pecking order.

You've lost 50lbs so I'd say your band is working mighty fine. You're just in need of a fill that's all.
