  1. I am much better now. The doctor said from now on they will be careful with my fills. She said that sometimes you can't go by what you see on the screen. I still have a good restriction she said. I told her she was a miracle worker. I lost a total of 11lbs Water weight since yesterday. I will sleep good tonight.
  2. I was able to sip for about 10 hours after my fill before I swelled up so bad. This happend the last time too. After I had to have fluid removed 6 weeks ago, I had almost no restriction. I am not sure how much fluid is in my band, but I had my surgery last year Feb. 6. And, I have been having adjustments (small ones) every 6 to 8 weeks. But, now I need to get the band where it needs to be, but I have a swelling response.
  3. I am going to have fluid removed tonight. I don't think my body likes the band. This is my second time swelling after a fill like this. 24 hours is long enough, it's not going to get any better.
  4. Yesterday I had a fill around 9 in the morning. I was able to sip until around 6 in the evening. Now I am hurting and can't sip, and I can feel my saliva building up. I have been throwing up. I was unable to work today. About 6 weeks ago I had a fill that was so tight that I was throwing up saliva every 30 minutes and had to have Fluid taken out. This one doesn't hurt quite that bad, but it's the same concept. Has anyone experience this and waited it out to see if it gets better. I have lost 5 lbs since my adjustment yesterday probably all saliva PLEASE HELP!!!!
