Hiya,
I had my band fitted in February and had my first 3ml fill in May. I then had a second fill in July of 1ml. I've been slowly and steadily losing weight since then.
In December I had a few personal problems not band related that caused me a lot of stress and I started to struggle to eat. It calmed down after a week and I could eat again.
Then over the Christmas week my band got really tight again. I was throwing up anything I tried to eat.
I went on liquids hoping it would calm down but it didn't. Then last week up until a defill I was even bringing up liquids, food and drink was making me cough too. I went to the hospital for a quick defill and asked the nurse what could be wrong after all this time? She said it's probably stress and I'm swollen. She took out 1ml leaving me with 3mls. When I had 3mls in on my first fill it didn't make hardly any difference. But now I'm still bringing food back up everyday. Not slider foods though which suggests I'm too tight.
If I go for another defill I'll have less than what I started with when I had hardly any restriction.
I don't understand why I'm so tight? I asked the nurse if my band could have slipped and she said as long as I wasn't bringing up blood it can't have slipped?
I'm just worried? Has anyone had anything similar?
