[POA7 0]

okay guys so, i have had my band for over two years. things started off great. i started at roughly 320 and got down to

148-ish. after this i had a complication and had a revision. scince the revision things havent been the same atall. i have a 10 cc band and it is filled to 9cc's i have been assured there is no leak when the band reached 9cc's however, i feel that somethign is wrong. i can eaat whatever i put in my mouth and more of it than im supposed to as if my band wasnt even there. i am really nearvous about having to do a 2nd revision and i feel like a complete failure. andy advice or input would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

How long ago was the revision? Could you have a stretched pouch? Have they done flouro on you?

Well, first of all, a 100 pound weight loss is NOT a failure! And if you are having band issues now, it's not your fault. A stretched pouch is a possibility--have you been grdually eating larger and larger portions? If that's the case, you need to cut back. Remember, the band is a tool, but you have to use it properly. I've learned that just because I can eat more than I should doesn't mean that i should.

I would definitley suggest a fill under flouro . . . that way you can easily see what is going on. Also, are they withdrawing the Fluid at each fill to check your levels? That can tell you if you have a leak or not.
