I'm 33 weeks pregnant now. My fill is up to a 5 and I haven't had an unfill or the need to unfill, but yes, I have felt it tighter at times, it comes and goes. you might want to go see your band doc and get an unfill, 6 may be way too tight. Good luck!

Hi....I'm 16 weeks now. At first I was using this blueberry flavor pre-natal chewable from the doc that made me literally gag, so I switched over to ONE A DAY PRE-NATAL....It's 2 pills, you have to swallow, but I've been using them for a few months now and they are perfect.

Hello All: This journey is really hard. But we CAN DO IT!!!! Don't dispair. I've been post-op 1 year and 5 months. I haven't even made my personal goal yet. LOL!!!!! I'm about 24 pounds away and I've been maintaining since April...SHEESH!! Today I actually go for a fill, so I'm hoping that will get me back to a better restriction level, I will also be going back to the gym after not being there for 2 weeks (due to a toe injury) so....don't get discouraged, you can do it!! You really can!

Hello.... I had my band done in Hollywood Florida, at Same Day Surgery Center with Dr. Emil Matei. This was done 12/30/08 and I paid $14,000, this included pre-op appts, nutrition guidance, fills and check-ups for 1 year. After that it will be $75 per visit.

Hi....Sliming is when you just have saliva coming up and coming up. It's not vomit, just saliva filling up your mouth. Vomiting isn't good though, your band might be too tight. It could be too tight if you feel a knot in your throat, have reflux/heartburn or aren't getting enough liquids in. That was happening to me!

Thanks Elcee: I went to the doc, they removed the .25 cc fill and will give me another fill probably .10. I feel much better but I'm sad because I'm now wanting to eat more like I was before the fill. I want to be at the right level. Maybe that next fill will do it for me!
