uggggghhhh!

I went in yeterday for my 3rd fill and had 1cc added to 5.8 cc in a 10cc band. I cant even take two tiny sips of water without burping and feeling very uncomfortible! :scared2:Will this go away or should I have some fluid removed?

cici as long as you can ingest I say give it a few more days. Just go easy! If you find you are not drinking or eating enough after a few days then definitely yes, go in to see your surgeon and get a little bit removed.

If your fill stops working 100% you can always go back for more. That is the beauty of the band!~

Since you can't really keep down water, I would go in for an unfill for sure. I know there may be some swelling, but since even water is giving you trouble I would think your too tight. I have had to get an unfill after my last 2 fills. I was very hesitant to do it, but it made all the difference in the world. I had restriction after each unfill.

I was VERY tight on my last fill. I was really worried and thought about going back to have some taken out. I was coughing at night. I figured out u can't eat too close to bedtime. I have loosened up considerably. I think the stomach initially reacts to the fill by swelling. Also I think if you try to force food too soon after a fill you can stay swollen longer. I still have good restriction so I'm glad I didn't get any taken out. I DID initially have trouble with liquids. Now I'm fine. You may wanna try and ride it out for a while. Try to get as much water in as possible because I think the swelling gets worse with dehydration.
