Ok, long story short. I had a fill with a new doctor who was in my area instead of traveling 8 hours to my surgeon who I don't particularly like. This doctor put 1.5CCs which brought me to a total of 7.75CCs, or so I thought. THis doctor did not pull out the Fluid to see how much was in or had evaporated. It felt no different than it had before the fill. (I had gone 7 months without a fill) So i went to see another new doctor (I changed jobs and moved across the state of Texas!). THis doctor pulled out all of my saline and found that I had roughly 6.75CCs so he gave me a fill of 1CC which brought me back up to around 7.75CCs (in a 10CC band).

Now here's my real question, am i too tight?? It's been two weeks since my fill and I can hardly get down Water in the morning. It feels like it gets stuck but eventually goes down. Towards the afternoon it loosens a bit but tea will still get stuck sometimes. Most days I haven't been able to eat even mushy food much less real food. However, on Saturday, I was able to eat mushies and deviled eggs without anything getting stuck. Sunday rolled around and I'm back to the same story of water feeling as if it is stuck. I'm scared to go in for an unfill because I don't want to lose my restriction but I dont know how much longer I can take it like this! I started a new job and don't really have vacation time to take off for a small unfill. Please help!

Ok....heres my story--banded 7/7. Around end of Nov, found my band had leaked/defective. 12/29 had band repair. I had been (i thought) up to 8cc's in my band before it cracked (tubing crack). Dr put 3cc's in the band at surgery. I went back 6 weeks later, he added a couple more cc's etc. I was recently at 6.9cc's. Yesterday he added, then took some out because it was too much. I'm now at 7.8 cc's.

Well, miserable night last night. I was able to have Soup at dinner...some liquids. But last night, i ended up with tightness in my chest (not even drinking any more!) and belching (small little ones, but all night)...plus feeling that "liquid' was going to come up - but never did.

I know they say after a fill you swell somewhat.which is why you do liquids afterwards...is this normal? I've never had this before...this morning i'm slowlyyyy sipping liquids, but I am exhausted from very little sleep and wondering if i will have to somehow get back in tomorrow for an unfill?

The thing is---typically i'm restricted for the first couple of weeks, but after that, it has always gone away and i've been able to eat way more thani should. I want to be satisfied with smaller portions---so i'm afraid of having him unfill...yet this belching and feeling like something MIGHT come up is not how i want to spend my weekend either!

Help please! Need some feedback!
