I may be too tight

I'm having a hard time sipping water, I'm drinking some warm coffee right now.....I'm worried I may be too tight. If I don't loosen up in the next day or two, I'm going back for a slight unfill. At this point, I don't see how I could eat anything because I'm so tight. I don't want to have PB problems.

My 2nd Fill experience

I went to the radiology dept at the hospital for fill #2. I got the same doctor who did my last fill (I really liked him). He was shocked I was back for another fill. He is very aggressive with the fills and tries to get the right fill on the first visit to start the weight loss.   He first checked the band to make sure it was in the right place, he showed me on the xray how it is suppose to look and mine looked perfect. He then decided he would take all the previous fill out to make sure I s

Things to remember (got this from someone else's journal - thanx)

Fear of losing the weightloss battle - author unknown   You won't lose the battle if you are willing to work with the band and do your part. But I can almost guarantee:   You will have plateaus when you first switch to solids until your body gets used to being fed instead of starved (most likely one-two weeks but could be three like mine.)   During many plateaus you will lose inches not pounds and then finally a larger loss.   Your loss in the first 30-40 days is a "never to be repeated"
