  1. Hi, someone please help me!! I went in at 5.4cc for a fill that was long over due. I hadn't had restriction in months. The Dr. filled my band and put it from 5.4cc to 6 cc I went home and it was too tight, I couldn't even drink anything. It hurt to swallow. I went back the next day and my stomach was irritated so he had to take it down all the way to 5 cc and told me that I would have to come back in a few weeks after the swelling went down because I need it put back in. He was right two days later I was staving !! I went in again three weeks later and he put me back at 5.5cc which is just 0.1cc more then I had gone in to begin with but he said my stomach couldn't handle it all at once and that I would have to come back again in a few weeks. Well again he was right I was hungry after 2 days. I went back yesterday and he put it up to 5.8 and I was fine all day. I had liquids and ate cottage cheese twice just fine. I made the mistake of taking one of my meds before bed and even though I cut it, it hurt going down. Well it is almost 3:00 pm today and I can't even drink anything not even hot stuff. It all hurts going down. I don't know what to do. Is it gonna get better or do I have to have some removed again?? My Dr. is two hours away and it is Saturday. Please help I am so fustrated and hungry and tired of it!!! I don't know is this normal ??? Thanks ALOT, Deanna
  2. Hi, I had my surgery on October 23 2007 and I also have PCOS. I haven't had any changes. I take Provera to bleed monthly and just continued like before. The only thing is my DR. took me off of the metformin. I would call your GYN.
