Possibly one too many fills...
Wow this is refreshing...I have just joined this forum and already I feel better. I am 4 day's away from hitting the 18mo mark and have been stuck in between 80-83lbs (total lost) for about 3 months now 
. I have received many fills along the way and think I have finally accepted that the last one was one too many. I have been telling myself for months now that I just need to learn how to eat again but it has come to the point that some day's I have trouble getting water down. Other days I can eat relatively fine but once and a while it's like it 'act's up' and I am back to liquids. I'm hoping that it is just too tight and not anything worse like band slippage. I have made an appointment for tomorrow to talk to my Dr. about it. As you can imagine the most frustrating part is realizing that this is the most the lap-band is going to help me. The rest (approx. 50lbs) I am going to have to do the good ol' fashioned way...more exercise!!! I walk approx 1- 1 1/2 hous a day (walking my dog!) but I have to admit I don't break a sweat I just walk at a comfortable pace. I know I have to push myself even harder and work on getting more fruits and veggies in my diet but it still feels pretty frustrating when I can barely get (or keep) anything down and yet I'm not loosing. Once I get this last fill removed I should be able to get some more things down, continue making healthy food choices and get back on track.
Let me know if anyone else has experienced this with the lap-band, having one too many fills? If so how did you resolve it?
Thanks for the very much needed support!
