after fill cant eat Is this normal?

Hello i am new here. ive had my band for 1.5 yrs with no success(read my info), im ready to make this thing work for me. I was given a fill fri afternoon and I have been unable to eat anything.I am able to sip water and broth but cant even keep down a protein shake. When will this loosen up a little so I am able to eat something? my last meal was fri morning 730 so i am quite hungry.

No, that's NOT normal. You should go to your doctor ASAP and get some fill taken out. You can become dehydrated very easily and don't want to mess with that.

I agree with XxMariposaxX, go to your doctor and get an unfill. I have been too tight to where I cannot get down thicker liquids. Throwing up, heart burn and reflux will follow if you do not pass out first! I had a fill on a Friday and my doctor met me at his office on Sunday to remove a little of the fill.

I am just really hoping it will get better on its own, but im unsure.. i am a private pay and would hate to pay for another appoitment as they are so expensive. any suggestions?

My doctor's instructions are that, if I can get and keep liquid down, to give it a few days to calm down.

I think you're probably pushing the envelope, time-wise; I'd probably call to see whether s/he wants to see you.
