Surgery 2 yrs ago

[bepabr 0]

I had a band done just over 2 yrs ago and have stayed static for the last yr and a half.i haven't lost or gained. I had an adjustment in the summer as I felt I was able to eat more, and also felt I wasn't benefiting from the band, the fill went ok and seemed to be helping as was restricted again. Then out of the blue 6-8wks later I couldn't get even liquids in I really felt I had some thing stuck. After having telephone calls I had 0.2ml removed and was instantly better.the nurse agreed there must have been something stuck. It wasn't a nice feeling having something stuck but I was also conscious that I had less in the band and once it had settled again as I was just in my plan still I had 0.1 put back in. I have been fine since and I still would like another fill, but not sure if they will do it? Also I haven't lost any weight for at least a year, I'm not sure if I've had a slippage or if I just don't have enough in the band as there is only a minor restriction- like I have to eat slower still but can eat anything really. Any ideas what to do? Or how to find out if I've had a slippage? I do get the occasional reflux, but not bad,I think as some do on here I should maybe have had a sleeve as I still haven't lost as much as I would like to,to date 3 stone but another 3 to go.any ideas anyone?

_{The band is not supposed to stop you from eating. It's supposed to help with satiety so you don't overeat. Before looking to have revision surgery, I'd speak with the doctor and/or nutritionist to determine what type of food plan you should be following and if you indeed need an adjustment.}

_{I have no fills and can eat anything. I don't get stuck and I don't slime. I eat slowly, and take small bites just so I don't look to overeat. The satiety usually kicks in shortly thereafter but not always. Sometimes I just have to grit me teeth and find something else to do besides eat more. You also don't mention if you exercise. Physical movement also can help you drop the weight.}

_{Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.}

Tell your doctor and ask for a fluroscopy... or barium swallow to see what might be wrong in there. They did one on me. All was fine but it is good to know that nothing is wrong!
