Fill Disaster!! Less Than Before.

I have had so many fills and un fills I can't even remember. I do know that I am sensitive to fills and can only handle about 1/2 cc at a time now that I am doing this again. I also get tighter if I am stressed or anxious. My nurse only puts in just a little so it will take longer but it is easier for my body to handle the adjustment. I have no idea why some people can get a large fill and have no problems. Slow and steady wins the race. LOL it is taking forever. I just need to stay mindful and do my part. Best wishes imaluckydog

I just had a unfill today too. I was bummed about it before, but Im looking at the brightside.I had 6 cc's before, but now have 4. Im just going to measure my food, and stop snacking so I can drop some weight and get it put back in

AHHH Im glad I am not the only one...

do you guys feel better with your 1/2 cc fills. I am going to measure and really take a look at what I am eating. not that I am eating bad its just the amount I am eating.

How long have you guys had your band in??

I was banded June 29, 2009. So I have been at this for over 3 years now. You would think I was a pro, but, let me tell you it's the band that has the upper hand in my life. I have been very successful. I have lost over 100 lbs. Got a complete un fill against the better wishes of my fill nurse. Before my full body nip and tuck, last June. It was all my own choice. I admit I gained a few extra pounds from poor snacking choices. (so don't snack) I do not snack today and I am close to losing all the extra I gained. In total it was about 20 pounds gained. It scared me too!! When I get a fill now it is only 1/2 cc and it is evey five or six weeks or so. I need to remain clam and stress free or my band will tighten all on it's own. Go Figure???? I love my band and every day I must remind myself to eat small to be small, I admit I also measure all my food and I use Lunch size plates so it looks like I get more, I eat very slow and chew a million times. I have found that is what works for me. Best wishes imaluckydog

I have a vasovagel response (pass out) to fills - so they told me I was senstive and my fills would have to be slow. Only had 1 fill so far so not sure how it will go from here I go back in two weeks for my 2nd one.

Thank you for your responses. I cant wait to go in and get filled again, I feel like I have no restriction at all. and I feel like I am gaining.

I have to get my **** together and stop eating snacks, in between meals. Its so hard though. Only because i am hungry all the time now.

Hopefully my next fill will help.
