what's up with this!

I was too tight for a while, finally went and had .49 taken out. It was instant relief. It's been almost 2 weeks, but now I can eat anything. I feel like I have no restriction. It's like a no win situation. I'm going back to the Dr. Tuesday for a slight fill. There has got to be a happy medium somewhere!

Not necisarily, lol. I am 15 mos. out...............15 fills...........4 partial unfills...............no restriction.

GOOD LUCK!

Well I'm 3 years out and had to just give up and leave my band at half full and go back to dieting because I never could get a good restriction. I was always either too tight or too loose. So no there isn't always a happy medium.

Rita - sometimes a fill of just .1 or .2 is enough to remove, so maybe you can get that amount added back.  I know a lot of my fills were less than .50 and they always seemed like enough.  Good luck!

Just like everyone else's post. A little makes a difference. I have 1.4cc now. I can't do 1.5 to tight and 1.6 is a BIG no or I"m so restricted I can't swallow spit. There's nothing wrong w/going with smaller numbers on fills. and you can even break it down smaller if need me. Sometimes that's what it takes. And sometimes you'll never know what it is. If you have .49 taken out... try just .40 and see how that feels.

As others have said, as you get more in yourand, the tiniest amount can make an immense difference. I was a bit too tight last week, had 0.1cc taken out and I am absolutley fine - no heartburn and excellent restricition.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I think I will have only about .25 cc put back in Tuesday. I'd rather play it a little safe.
