I went for my questioned fill and got a good one. It has only been 4 days and I think I am to tight. Everything is getting stuck, eggs, yogurt, fish, Beans, Water. I have been I slim and pb almost everytime I eat. It hurts and pbing is a pain. On the bright side the weight is coming off but I am so not getting in the Protein or water I need to be consuming. At first I thought maybe I needed to chew better but if water is getting stuck... How long should I wait to be certain I need an unfill?

:thumbup:

I haven't been banded yet but I know if I was feeling like that i would go NOW...why suffer for just a few lbs lost???

The longer you wait and the more irritated your stomach becomes from pbing the more they will have to remove to help you. I would go in immediately. I have had as little as .1 of a cc removed and felt better immediately. They don't have to take out the whole fill to help you. Good luck.

You're definitely too tight. I would get some removed. The band isn't supposed to make it hard to eat.

Strange follow up question.... are you on your time of month? I got a fill a week ago yesterday and i can do water or liquid fine, but food is a problem. If i take 30 minutes or more to eat, i can get maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food down but it's challenging. However, its that time of month for me and i'm waiting to see if it gets better... I've heard you can be tighter during your cycle.. Right now, eating is just plain no fun..

if it were me and water was NOT passing I would go back ASAP!! Good Luck!

Try staying on fluids for a day to let things calm down. I am always super tight after a fill but it gets better over time. I wait about a week to see how things go.... But I also haven't had trouble with water unless I gulp it....

You need to wait at least 6 hours after you lose a meal to eat anything else. Even liquids will be hard during this time. I was too tight for 5 months, but I was losing weight so I lived with it. Eventually I stopped losing and had to go get a tiny unfill. He took out .1cc and it made all the difference. I am kicking myself now for not dealing with it sooner. Oh well that is what life is all about huh? Hugs
