Niki I was just at my doctors office and while I was waiting to see him I was listening to some of the knew banders in the offie talking. They were talking about this knew band that they have out and they had it, it is suppose to help you lose faster than any of the older bands. So when I went in to the office to see him I asked him about this and he said yes it was true, just like everything else as years go by their is always something newer coming out. With this new band you supposely do not get stuck or sick. Go figure right.lol Take care Niki and it was not chatting with you, I guess we will just have to work harder than some.

I too have this problem. I h ave been banded since June of 2006 I have lost 101 pounds but recently I have been having some problems. It seems Im either to tight or not tight enough. I had to have a complete unfill for reflux reasons. My docotr wanted to give my stomach a rest so I was without any fill for 3 weeks. Now I am back at 1 cc in my band. My problem is I have gained 10 pounds and am afraid to go back for an adjustment because my doctor is leaving and Im afraid that if I start having problems of not being able to eat I will have to drive to Pittsburg which is about 3 hours away from to havea doctor take care of me.

Now I am struggling with a 1cc and being able to eat way too much and not having a lot a will power to lose that 10 pounds before it turns into 15, 20 and so on. I can't let that happen. If anyone has any advice please please I am all ears.
