  1. Am I too tight?

    Brand_New_Me replied to a-newme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I was banded 4/13th. I received 1-1/2 CC at first fill. Went for second fill 6/23 and was given 1 cc. Thought I hit my sweet spot but that only lasted 1 day. I noticed I was feeling tighter and tighter. By the 3rd day, I couldn't even sip water. Later that night it was painful to even swallow my own saliva. What a horrible night I had. Went to the dr. next morning and he removed 1 cc and I felt instant relief. (I also lost 10lbs in 3 days). My dr says 2-1/2 cc is too much for me. I am supposed to go back in 2 weeks for another 1/4cc fill. I am scared to death. I think I'll stay at this fill level until I notice myself gaining weight. So my 2 cents-- You might want to get a slight unfill. It's not fun being unable to swallow your own saliva.
