Filled but not restricted

hcomputerchic · 04-03-2008, 06:08 PM

I have been having an issue that I hope I can get some insight on. My band is filled to 11.5cc and each time I have an adjustment, I have great restriction for the first 2 weeks then less and less. It does not appear that I have a leak (or at least it is not consistent). It is starting to feel like it is in my head.

I will be going for an endoscopy soon but in the meantime was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how it was resolved.

Thanks,
H

Ultimately, what and how we is IS in our head, IMHO.

You may have a leak; get that question answered first.

The other issues regarding eating errors and vast and deep. Do you track your meals on a database?

You seem to be losing at a very good rate. Do you find your eating habits changing? Something seems to be helping. Please clarify your situation.

I lost most of my weight before my first fill. Since my first fill in March 2007 (1 year) I have lost 25 lbs. I definately feel the restriction, and listen to it when its there, and can feel the difference when it leaves. I am currently on an appetite surpressant as well as definately feel the difference. My Dr. feels if it were habit, I would have no diff on the drug or off.

I was tracking my meals for a while, and know when it is me being "bad" but this is definately not that.

I don't have a leak (at least a measurable one)
