I have been trying for about 6 months and it is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I still have some restriction, although once I hit a healthy BMI my doctor won't fill me anymore. He says it is up to me to eat right and maintain my weight, which I have done. I have stayed at the same weight (give or take a lb. or so) for the past 6 months. Did anyone else have this problem? I know what to eat to lose the weight, I am still exercising, but I might just have to come to the realization that this is where my body is happiest? ]]> Forties thinner09 http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f119/no-more-fills-105719/ http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f119/acid-reflux-105246-new/ Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:47:58 GMT I had to have all the fluid in my band taken out due to reflux.

I had my first fill about 3 weeks ago and amazingly I was restricted. Really restricted. I couldn't eat much of anything for about 10 days. I was struggling getting used to it but really happy at the same time.

But over the last 10 days or so I've lost almost all of the tightness that I had. And now I'm back to almost square one. I can eat as much as I want.

I saw my Dr this morning and he gave me another 1.5 cc's but even with that I'm only a little restricted. Nothing like I was. My Dr says this is not unusual but it seems odd to me. And he didn't see any leaks.

Has anyone else had this - where you feel restricted and lose it that quickly? I did lose about 10 lbs over that time but I don't think that should have been enough to make this much of a difference.
