Mine too always looked A-OK on all the test. They found out different
only when they went in. Yes, we are the best indicator of our own bodies.

Just a note; when I had reflux the scale wasn't moving down but, up. It developed a mind of its own and would close up at will.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

it's funny that you say that. funny, in a sad way, not a "ha ha" way. my surgeon pointed that out to me on my last fill visit a few weeks ago. he asked how i knew i was ready for a fill. i thought it was an odd question. it'd been eight weeks since the last time i'd had a fill. i wasn't really hungry between meals, i thought that because i could drink and eat at the same time that it meant i wasn't getting enough restriction any longer. he quickly clarified that for me. only one time have i actually experienced reflux from an overfill, and it wasn't him that did the fill, but rather his assistant. when i called about the reflux (as i hadn't had any acid reflux since the getting the band and the hernia being repaired), they told me to just drink liquids until the reflux went away(!).

Thank you Melly. I know you are very well aware of how frightening this has all been, having been there yourself . Glad you are doing better and hope the same for myself.

Nic, thank you so much. I have followed your struggle over the years and I am grateful for your support, especially since I know you feel very differently about the band than I do.
