*sigh* - here we go again

I had very little in my band untill this last fill . Last May I had an unfill then I had no restriction but was under a lot of stress and was scared to get a fill because it might be to tight again . Now I have good restriction but pain when I eat meat . Last night I ate roast beef and thought I was going to die but after 30 minutes was up I drank some water and I was fine . As long as I drink 30 minutes after I eat I'm fine . I called my Drs. office earlier and am waitng for them to call back . I haven't lost any weight in the last few months . In fact I gained but I have lost what I gained so I am just maintaining . When I had my last fill {before the one in Jan. } some of the solution had leaked out { due to the filling process .. when he takes the needle out } that is why I didn't have restriction and now I have restriction and I can't eat . I'm getting really discouraged . ~ Cindy

I find that if I let something that feels a little uncomfortable sort of "sit" in my pouch too long, I tend to have trouble the following day. I don't know in my case if it is a reflux issue or something else. I have had trouble with reflux (I'm on something for it) and it makes me kind of paranoid, so i too have been using liquids to "move things along." then of course I end up hungry again too soon. Arrrgh.

Hope by the time you read this your band has settled down! I find it so odd how they change! I have generally got just the right amount of restriction but I jsut ate (slowly) a tuna and potato fishcake, should be so soft it slid down. Two mouthfuls and I am painfully full! Don't think i am going to slime but close run thing!! Kate
