going n for my 3rd fill on the 18th of feb. So 2day is my last day 2 eat while I can bc after a fill I b swollen for about a week n cnt really get nothing down until My band loosens up.

Me, too. I had my 3rd fill today. I thought I just needed a little but when I was under the floro she had to add .7 for me to get restricion. I should have known, I ate a piece of pizza yesterday! I figured I better do it now while I still could! When did you get your band?

Tiff--how did it go today???

I got my band nov 24th 2009 1st fill dec 21st 2009 seconf fill jan 26th 2010 3rd fill feb 18th

Omg I thought that I could take 3 ccs yesterday so I left and got in my car and burped and threw up. I thought once I threw up I would be fine so I drove hom and what did I do that for. I was sooo sick sliming and throwing up now keep in mind I didnt eat anything since wed night around 10pm I threw up everything that was in me then it was like foam... I called the doc and had to wait to 230pm to see him and then he took all the fluid out of me then made sure that the band hadnt slipped then he started to add the fluid back in. so my body is real sore from all that throwing up I feel like I just did 300 sit ups.... this weekend I going to take it easy and rest..... hope all is well

Wow, what an event!!!! I am glad you were able to be seen fairly quickly and all is well. I have been overfilled and it is no picnic, for sure!!!!

Best wishes,

Mimi

You poor thing, I hope you are able to just relax and get some rest this weekend. We will be thinking of you....

thanks mimi n leighamason Im doing much better. for some reason Im super thirsty. maybe I can now get my Water intake n without a problem

Yikes! I was banded on 1/5/10 and have already had 2 fills- neither of which did much of anything. I have an appt. for my 3rd fill and, while I definitely don't want to be overfilled, I would like to feel some restriction. I seem to be hungry all the time and able to eat whatever I want. But I definitely don't want to experience what you did Tiffany! Anyways, just feeling a bit frustrated that I am not seeing much difference from before I was banded to now.

Do others have this same problem? Scary stuff!

From reading the forum, it's not unusual to get an overfill at some point on the way to restriction.
