To Fill, Or To Unfill... That Is The Question!

I have seen many blog posts on here regarding tightness of the band. My personal experience with the band over the past 4 years has been constantly refilling and unfilling. Well I shouldn't say constantly, because for the first 2 years I stayed at 2cc (in a 10cc band) and then all of the sudden needed to add more saline. For the past 2 years, I have had issues with tightness and have had numerous fills and unfills. I like to drink a cup of hot tea or coffee every morning to help loosen my band up. There are still some times where I find my band unbearably tight which is usually after sitting for long periods of time (road trips, I travel a lot). My suggestion is that if you are not able to keep any liquids down then you should immediately contact your Dr. and do not hesitate. Also, I have seen posts regarding "throwing up"... If you are throwing up at least 1 a day (routinely) you are probably too tight... CONTACT YOUR DOC!
