Frustrated - lost my restriction....

I have a 4cc band and am filled to 3.2cc - was banded April 26, 2007. I've felt restriction before, but it goes away after a few weeks so this last fill I had some restriction but felt that I needed a little more and after he gave me a slight fill, it was like I completely lost all of my restriction. I guess that's what I get for being greedy....I don't know what to do now! Any suggestions? Do you think I may have slipped?? :help:

I had that happen to me once. They pull out what you have in there, then add more. I think there is a way to lose contact with the port or something. I called after a couple of days and told them I felt like I had no fill at all. I went in, he pulled the needle back, and sure enough, I had no saline.

I am going for another fill in Dec. and I am afraid the same thing is going to happen. My doctor could not figure out how I lost all my fill. I didn't have a leak, because he filled me way up thinking I had a leak, and I had to go back for a defill right away because I was way too tight.

Got to goal but maintenance was a
work in progress!

Band to sleeve revision surgery 4-29-09.
maintenance is so much less work!

I am very interested in others that have had this problem. I also have lost all feeling of restriction. I have nearly 4cc's in the 4cc band and can eat anything. I used to get "that feeling" like something was stuck and since my last fill I get nothing. I don't have pain and I still stay full for 3-4 hours but I do eat more at mealtime than before. I am not gaining weight but not losing either. I am exercising 3-5 days per week. I don't get it...

Turns out I was supposed to have 3.4cc in my band, however I only had 1.8cc....not sure why, but he filled me back up and I have restriction again.
