Update on my dilation. All is well praise God! I will never again go with too much fluid in my pouch. That was a clise call. I eould rather ut be too loose than too tight. Got .3 added and seem to be doing fine. I gained 2lbs, but I knew, what I was doing wrong, ste stuff thst I could no longer eat with restriction. Enjoyed it now time to get back on trsck. Wohoo.

Hey does anyone consider tuna snd vaked fush a mushy?

Thanks on mushy and want baked cod.

My experience is a too tight band csn cause a dilation abd a big ir full unfill. You don't wsnt yhat. You made the right choice.

Don't be sad I'm right there with you. I have dilation. I had a slight unfill and liquids 3 days then mushy 3 days. The tech at my fill center says thid will give the esphogas time to heel .The only thing is we are going to have to rely on will power and lots of wster and exercise to stay on track. You will be able to make it.

I made sone mistakes, I got a fill that was too tight and waited too long to get an unfill. They did an ex ray and told ne it was dilation. I am freaking out because I keep hearing that when you have this happen you will continue to have issues afterwards. I had to get fluid taken out, .7ccs, on liquids for 4 days, then 4 days mushy and go back in a month. Does anyone who has gone through this have any advice?

Thsnk you do much. I am on liquids 3 days then nushys 3 days. My band was too tight abd I had sinus drainage. When I did have relief to eat I over dud it vi have learned my lesson. Too tight is not too good, vomiting is a bad sign, slime means something happened, all weight loss is not good weight loss.

I just came back from getting an an unfill due to dilation. Read yiyr pist and wondering how you are doing now? Did thingd get back to normal? Do you gsve anymore complications?.

Guys I will avoid carbonated beverages from now on, because this coukd if been part of the cause if my dilation.

Does this ever happen to anyone beside me? I had a fill last week and it seemed to be fine, but last night I had some issue due to congestion and my sinus. Now my mouth is watery and I have to swallow every few seconds and last night I had white foam coming up. I think I may have messed up because I tried to drink a cup of mountain dew, but that afternoon it was still difficult to eat anything. I did not have any issues like this last week.

Okay guys, I finally made it to the dr, but I had to wait because if the holidsy abd tge full center was closed from Thursday to monday. They did an exray abd I have a damn dialiton!!! I am so scared that I screwed uo. I have heard that once you hsve a dialiton yoy continue to gave issues. I feel like its my fault because I should gave gone in sooner, but work and with the fill center being so damn far, I jept puttung it off. I am on liquids fir 4 days, then mushy, the solid. Plus they had to take out a lit up f my fluid.

No, I haven't gotten one yet. I have been monitoring myself. The foam has subdued, but now I keep burping. I think with my fill I have to re train myself to eat because I have been able to eat more choices than when I began my lap band journey. One other thing does menstrual cycle cause your band ti be tight.

I have an issue with my tummy and I wonder if the insurance would cover it. I have a lot of skin and it causes skin issues, I am not sure if anybody else my go through this, but since it is an issue, I was wondering if anyone got their insurance to help pay for a tummy tuck? I mean they should because it is a medical condition rihgt? If someone has been sucessful in this please let me know what you did to get it done?

I got a fill on Tuesday. I had issues that night, watery mouth and foam. Last night, Wednesday, I had less of a watery mouth and was able to sleep without thinking or feeling like I had to burp. I feel like I may be swollen from the fill, and the swelling will go down in a few days. I would hate to get an unfil when I should just wait a few days for the swelling to go down. I hate the fill center cause its not the doctor's office so you can't really talk to anyone knowledgable about what is going on. I don't have to burp anymore, but my mouth is still a little watery. What should I do?

I got a fill on yesterday. I sat and drank the water and even went back and got another cup just to make sure that everything was okay. Well, when I got home my mouth was a little watery and I had to keep sallowing. Liquids are going down, but sometimes I get white foam coming up. I had this before when I was in my green zone earlier, but now after just getting a fill this is happening. Plus I keep burping, its not the one with slime its just that I have the urge to keep doing it. What should I do? Could it be swelling or could it be I need an unfill. I didn't get much put in in the first place because of this kind of thing. Should I wait or not? Liquids stay down, but I keep these urges of wanting to burp.

I will, I just ate some soup and it went down with no problem. So hopefully the swelling will go down, but I did make a call to the fill center.

Thanks guys.

Everyone is different. Some people can get by with 2 to 4 oz or maybe a cup. However, I have never been the one who was saticfied with really small portions. When I was 3 weeks out I still had a somewhat big appieate, I did walk my but off, but I could not just make it on those small portions. Yes, the water will help, you may require a little more, just a little more. I think the mistake that we bandsters make sometime is getting rid of everything,which can sometimes pull our metabolism down. Most of all don't beat yourself up. You will get and be hungry, you will get full faster. Just because you have the band does not mean you won't get hungry.

Thanks guys, me and spanx are having a serious love afair. I just wish I was rich enough to get a tummy tuck.

Okay today, I was trying to take vitimans because I am getting the early signs of a cold. One of the vitimans did not agree with me. So of course it came up eventually. Well now I keep burping and I have to keep sallowing, plus my mouth is watering.I know last time this happened I had complications and had to go get an unfill. I was just saying how good the fill was.

Thanks.

When I went to get a fill on Friday the doctor said that I should not bother with yogurt or protien shakes for breakfast. He said it only caused me to be starving by the time lunch comes around. He is right. The only thing is what should I eat for breakfast? I can't eat eggs because they get stuck. Does anyone have a suggestion?
