Sliped band?

I doubt that this is my problem as I still have some restriction.

I have had some minor pain off and on in the area of my band but maintained restriction despite not having a fill in about a year or more. I recently found by accident that I can eat small bites of bread that were an absolute no no before and can tolerate a few sips of beer which was an absolute no no before. I know I need to get in for a fill but I need to save back the dough first.

I was curious if this sounds more like a band that needs filling or is there a deeper issue? I have actually been supprised to keep what restriction I had as long as I have without a fill. I started to gain a few pounds recently and I know it is bacause now that I found that I can eat a few of these things I have.... Not as strong as I thought I was...

I had RNY so not much help but you might want to go the the band board and ask I'm sure those folks could be a lot of help.
I also see Dr. Curry on here a bit you might want to email him as well.
Good Luck,
Robin

I am not sure if you are available or not but the day after Thanksgiving Dr. Curry is doing free fluro's in his office to check on band placement.  It might be worth a trip.  He is doing it from 7-2 and you do not have to make an appointment.

Good luck!

That is cool and sounds like something he would do. Pretty cool guy.

You are right it might be worth a trip.  Is that at deconess or the other office?

Evendale, and I expect to see your butt in there.

I will find some directions on your site and plan to be there. Thanks for setting this up.

Thanks Dr. Currry. Really nice facility you have there.
