I went in for an unfill today - she took out a full cc. that's a lot.
My band has been so tight & I've become increasingly miserable. Last nite was the last straw - I was up most of the night with the worst heartburn ever. Frankly, it made me panicky & scared. I love where I'm at & I love my band which means I need to take care of it. Just like you, I know that hearburn & night regurgitation can be a sign of slippage or erosion. Something happening to my band really worries me.
Looking back now, I can see that bouts of heartburn have steadily been increasing over the last few months and, in tandem, my eating habits have been getting worse. Sometimes I eat crappy slider food just to get something - anything - in me. not good.
So today, the fill whisperer took out 1cc. We're going to give my belly a few weeks to calm down & then we'll start easing back up the fills (if needed). I know what I want from maintenance - I want to be able to eat small amounts of a wide variety of foods without constantly pbing, fighting heartburn or popping gas-x. I want it to be easy - think that's too much to ask?
cheers,
chloe

I'm glad you got an unfill. You definitely need to take care of your band. Hopefully you'll still have restriction, just not the heartburn.
Sounds like an unfill was a good idea and no, I don't think what you're looking for is unrealistic. Heartburn is not a good thing with a band. Take care.
