I'm pretty much on liquids right now as I'm having a hard time tolerating any food.  My band should be completely unfilled, but I can barely make it through a can of soup without feeling like I ate 10lbs of food.  If I eat "real" food, anything more than 1/4 cup has me feeling so bloated and uncomfortable.   Which with having no fluid in my band, I shouldn't have any restriction at all... but I do.  So they are thinking I have a slip/erosing/intolerance for the band. 


I'm just seeing so many people banded around the same time I was getting their bands out for slip/acid reflux/intolerance.. etc.

I'm hoping to get my band out soon as I'm miserable.    Up until I started having problems this year, I was rocking my band.  Lost 70lbs.. but luckily I've only regained about 10 since april when it all started.
