Great info. Wish I had known about it before. Had my surgery Mar-8 and the Dr was going on vacation so they rushed me in about 3 weeks later for 1st fill. Had JUST gotten off liquids! They gave me 1.2cc fill and needless to say I think it was too early. Had gone in after the fill (beginning of May) and told them I thought it was too tight but they sent me for barrium swallow and said to just see how it goes but didn't take any out due to being such a small amount. :eek: Went back last week and told them what was going on *not able to keep anything down, reflux, acid, etc* they immediately said "oh , you are too full, we must unfill" DUH! Gonna wait a while til I get filled again but will be sure to take this advice before going. Weight came off quickly for sure though. 58 pounds in almost 6 months.
