LouC 1 Posted June 4, 2016 Has anyone had their band empty before? I'm curious to know if you are still restricted. I had mine emptied so I could enjoy food on holidays and I'm still getting it stuck. I thought you were supposed to be back to normal without a fill.

Debbie Tedder Chubb 2 Posted June 8, 2016 I had mine emptied several years ago by one of the quacks, dr Elariny, that dr pinnar left his patients with. I had an ulcer so it was temporary for healing purposes. I haven't Been able to find the "sweet" spot for my fill since and have gained weight and am very frustrated. WouLd. not recommend emptying if you can avoid it. Also, keep in mind the band is a life style change, and a surgical fix not an on and off switch. ReThink risking your success for special occasion eating. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
