My last two appointments I was not able to get a fill which I need....The first time I was only able to get maybe a few drops but the second time the band pushed back and wouldn't allow a fill. The weird part is my file said I have 8.5cc but they are only pulling out 5.6cc's. I had an upper GI done and there is not a kink. My band is supposed to hold 10cc's.

I am soooo confused but I am hearing that the bands are having alot of issues now. I was banded in 2010 and curious to know what is the issue. The doctor said it may have a kink but it was confirmed no kink.

Have anyone else had this issue and if so, what was your end result?

Sounds odd. My sister had an issue where the tube was disconnected from the band itself, so any fill she got was not going anywhere. She had it replaced and all is well again.

Do you still have restriction?

I don't have much of a restriction because they took some out and put some back in but according to them some Fluid is still missing. So I am really trying to do good without my working band.

I cannot wait to get the issue resolved....I need a fill asap and bad :blink: :wacko: :angry:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
