Fill or is something wrong?

Hi-<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Your story is very common.You will reach a point where you will have to fill/unfill to reach your ' sweet point’. Sometimes 0.2cc makes a difference only. If you are able to swallow 2 glass of water I think you are fine. It might be a good idea to speak to your doctor maybe there is a substitute to your medication.</SPAN>Best ...K<BR>

I have to take pills in the morning and at supper time. I take them with yogurt. I take my capsel apart and mix it with the yogurt and yuck but I do it every day and I have a pill crusher for the rest of them and put them in the yogurt. It has worked for me since Dec 31st when I had my surgery. I did get a fill that was too much and could not take my meds the one night because I could not even get a shake down me without it coming back up but that was my fault, I talked the doctor into giving me too much. I won't do that again. 24 hours after the fill I tighten right up, I guess I was swollen. I was told after a fill it does get tighter but then will get looser. I am trying to find my sweet spot also, I am at 5.5 cc. I am hoping 6 will be it. I go again next week for another fill. Good luck in finding your sweet spot.

Its normal to feel restricted after your fill because it inflames a little...then it will settle. My band is close to being tightened the whole way and Im still able to eat whatever I want with no problems. I end up eating very slowly and "grazing" and drinking while Im eating. I still only eat a fraction of what I use to eat and I steadily lose 1 lb a week. VERY slow....but I'll take it
