Hey, I went to the Doc yesterday and she pulled 1.4cc out of my band and had IMMEDIATE relief. I was actually able to drink, not sip, but drink a cup of Water. I have not thrown up anything since then, no nausa or anything. I know I was suppose to stick to mushy stuff but I ate food yesterday and it was wonderful. This is the best I have felt in a week... I lost a total of 7.6 pounds during my hell week and I will try to maintain the weight loss until I go back. I definitely do not want to gain but losing it that way certainly was not worth it.

Hi, I am new to the fourm but I wanted to say that based on what I am reading, I have all the classic symptoms of over fill. I went in last week and my doc put 1.6cc in my band and since then, I have thrown up almost every piece of food I have tried to eat. I have managed to keep saltine crackers, a bit of chicken, broth, grits, and a bit of eggs. coffee, tea, milk and Water down. I am also experiencing the night cough thing and to me that is worse than not being able to eat. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get 'unfilled' I am hoping to take out what they put in, wait until my next followup--end of July, and maybe have him but 1/2 the amount back. I have thrown up more this week than the entire 2 years since I have had my band. I feel so stupid because I asked to be 'cinched' up because I was eating a bit more that I thought I should.
