I have not come across anyone with the 4cc band that had an unlocked band. The new band has a redesigned locking mechanism and I have heard of other people with the new band that had a lock problem.

there is a fine line between your sweet spot and overfilled, but why not get small fills until you reach the right spot of restriction? Unless there is a lot of reflux etc. many people have gotten small unfills if they got too tight. Not everyone needs to be completely unfilled if they get too tight.

We cannot be expected to lose weight if the band is not working the way it was meant to, if we could we wouldn't need the band! Too loose a band, we gain or don't lose, perfect amount of fill and most people lose, if choosing the right foods.

Let us know how you make out after seeing your Dr.
