IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE HAD TOO MANY FILLS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.I HAD MY BAND IN MARCH AND ONLY 2 FILLS SO FAR I HAVE THE 3RD AT THE END OF JULY SO 5 IN 6 MONTHS SOUNDS LIKE TOO MANY BUT I WOULD TALK KTO YOUR DR . I HAVE LOST 42 LBS SO FAR AND I AM HAPPY. I THINK  AND THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION ,THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO LOOSE TO MUCH WEIGHT TO FAST.BE PATIENT THE WEIGHT WILL COME OFF BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BAND IS TO TIGHT BUT AGAIN I AM NOT A DR. JUST MY OPINION

it just seems like that is to many fills in a short time period.like i said i am not a dr. this is just my opinion. come july 28 th i will have my 3rd fill that will be 4 1/2 months out and only 3 fills. your 5-6 months out now and already 5 fills a nd you have another this month????? just sounds like to many fills and the band is to tight .i am having a fill every 6-7 weeks it sound like your having 1 every month.i know every dr is different but are you telling him you cant keep anything down?

I totally agree with the person above, I had my band in January and only have had 3 fills, my body talks to me when I need a fill, the Dr. doesn't tell mke when I need a fill I tell him. I know because I can eat much more and Im much more hungry, It sure sounds to me as well you are getting way to many fills, also sounds like you need an unfill if you can't keep anything down...I would talk to the Dr. about your problem...Best of luck...

You need to bring this to your surgeon's attention - we share the same surgeon so I know you have an excellent doc, but he can't help you if you don't  let him know what's going on with you.   Your weight loss is on target.  Tuna, eggs and other animal proteins are all notorious for causing trouble for some - they are dense - but if milk got stuck?!??!  I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Milk might have made your queasy - and some people have trouble with protein shakes that are milk based - but living on pumpkin seeds and water isn't a good long term plan.    Call him.    Susan
