Hi everyone,

I had my surgery over a year ago...lost 50 pounds, but for the last 4 months have gained and lost the same 5 pounds countless times.

Let me give you a quick history. been filled about 6 times, but completely unfilled twice do to once have got spinach suck (unfilled for 6 weeks) - then just filled to much and so swollen they unfilled me again for a month. (they tryed taking soome out, but did not work had to do the whole thing again)

After everytime they slowing stat to fill me again.

Now for problem:

I was filled last Wednesday, just 2 days ago I started where I can not get anything down (Water Ok slow going, but going down).. Keep belching...miserable.

I just do not want to get unfilled again finally under 200 again.

So question do you think I could just be swollen and how long does it usually take to go down???

Thanks for any help.

How much are they putting in at a time?

I think last time .3cc's but in 10 band only up to like 5.5 cc's

Sounds like your a little tight. I would talk to the doctor about a slight unfill. He may not need to take everything out. I had a fill of .4 and needed an unfill. Doc. took out .3 and I was in a pretty good place for a while. Good luck!

My band is super sensitive I can only get .1 or .2 fill at a time now, the time before last they added .3 and I had to have .1 taken out and then I was in a good spot. The longer you wait the more they will have to take out to ease the swelling. Good luck.

Yes, ended up back at doctors this morning could keep even Water down...ended up taking out .8cc's, so upset, but I will go back in 2 week and she will put back a few more cc's.

I can not believe I am that senative to the fills. Darn everytime it is like starting all over again!:scared2:

Thanks everyone for response's.
