Find out what upper GI says. It may give you some answers.

Vickie I am over 2 years out and have had 17 fills and still fon't have restriction. It happens to a LOT of us! Have u considered revision?

You might want to check out the failed band forum. There's a link  below.

A GI will possibly give answers but it may also be as simple as you need a fill. Each person requires different amounts in their band to get any type of restriction. Are you eating protein first, getting excercise in..etc?

I'm eating protein first, but on the exercise thing not really i do a lot of walking at work. I work about a 130 hours every two weeks.  I go in at 0430 and get out at 5pm five days a week I'm just so tired when i get off.
