elcee 3,341 Posted February 17, 2019 What are you chasing? Are you chasing a sensation that stops you eating? A band is not about restriction in that way it is supposed to make you satisfied on smaller portions of healthy food, the tighter you are the less likely you are to be able to eat those healthy foods and the more likely you are to eat high calorie non satisfying sliders. The other thing is that bands after a while seem to become ineffective. It may be that your band has come to the end of its useful lifespan and you may need to consider a revision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summerset 5,265 Posted February 17, 2019 What does your surgeon say? If you get a fill and don't notice any difference... the band may be damaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loseit 28 Posted February 19, 2019 http://I get a fill today. Going to give it two weeks to see if things change. Dr says it should be pretty tight. If after two weeks I may have a upper GI to look and see what things look like. Praying restriction is back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
