I had a complete unfill on April 1. I had 5.5cc in a 10 cc band then. I was just way too tight...lots of gurgling, pain, unable to swallow my own spit at times....so they unfilled me, did an upper GI, everything was fine. SO we started with a small 2cc fill, and now I am up to 4.5cc and I feel like I am almost there but not quite. I can eat bread....pasta...whatever. I KNOW I can eat alot more, but I try hard not to, because I am scared to over do it. My question is this, is it taking MORE saline to get me back to some sort of restriction than it would have before BECAUSE I have already had atleast 5.5 cc in my band? Kind of like I have to have atleast 5.5 cc now or else? Does that make any sence to anyone else?? I am calling the office tomorrow, its been almost 2 weeks since my last .5 cc fill and I want more damnit!!:confused_smile:
