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?

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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
