2 cc in band and too tight?

I've been banded for 6 months, had 4 fills for a total of 2ccs. Since my 4th fill (over 4 weeks) ago I haven't been able to eat ANYTHING without it getting stuck...we're talking applesauce, yogurt, pudding, EVEN DRINKS!. It's so frustrating and I have given it time to settle itself in...it's been over 4 weeks now. Every time I eat something mushy have to to go the bathroom and spit out the slime (gross) and most of the time PB.

I get full very fast but get hungry within 2-3 hours afterwards....

My band has NOT slipped by the way.

Anyone else felt too tight with a small amount of saline?

Do you know what size your band is? How many cc does it hold? If you band is too tight, don't let it go on like that. It can cause strictures of the stomach. That's what happened to me. I didn't do anything about it because I was losing weight and I just had to put up with throwing up on occasion. It seemed like a good trade off at the time. Now I've had nothing but problems since they did the procedure that fixed the stricture problem.

im sorry to hear your having problems!! you might need a slight unfill. thats weird you only have 2ccs and your that tight! but everyones different!! i hope you feel better soon! you should really go see your dr.

I have a 4cc band and I have 2.75cc in it. I am at my sweet spot. My daughter also has a 4cc band and is way too tight at 1.5cc. It may help to know what size your band is. It does not really matter though, if you are too tight, you are too tight. You sound too tight for sure. It will be fine if you get just a little taken out... Hugs!!!!
