Is there anyone who would honestly throw up all the time then go back to get an unfill? At one point I was too tight and I really did not want to go back to my doctor because I liked not being able to eat. Although I knew it was unhealthy, I wanted to stay that way. I did go back to get the unfill but I was really contemplating not doing it. I wanted to wait it out.

Am I the only one who has had these feelings???????

No, you're not the only one who has felt this way.

My last fill was a little iffy. I was certain when I first got it that I needed to get some taken out - It hurt to drink Water. When I realized I just had swelling from the fill I waited it out.

As the month went by I was losing a ton of weight and not getting hungry until the afternoon. It was great.

I was afraid that they would decide I had lost too much weight and want to back me off. But what I've learned over the past month is that the band isn't too tight, I just need to get used to having proper restriction (chewing a ton, eating slowly, etc.)

It does sound like you did the right thing, good luck!

I have had 3 fills that gave me problems- couldn't even keep down a protien shake. I waited them out thinking it was swelling. For 2 I had to go back for an unfill- and still had some restriction. The third time, I waited it out and ended up being fine. I have lots of restriction in the morning, but get hungrier than I'd like by late afternoon. I am so tight in the morning I am afraid to go in for a fill.

My nurse practitioner said I was one of just a few of her patients who are very sensitive to fills. Meaning, I swell a lot afterwards. I've gone back for unfills after two separate fills but only after not being able to drink Water. I figure, I know I can live on liquids so as long as water and protien shakes go down, I'm good to wait it out up to a week or so.

So my lesson is is after a fill that I have to wait longer than the suggested 24 hours to try even mushies, or I'll irritate my stomach and it'll swell more.

I am actually going back in 2 weeks, the soonest they could get me in! I have given the last fill about 21/2 months for me to adjust to it. I haven't lost anything mainly because I am having to eat slowly throughout the day to get in enough protein which means I am grazing and can't remember what I have eatten. I know I can/should be tracking but I am miserable. If am able to get something down I have to be standing while I eat...not always possible, or I have to add sauce ...not good, or again graze. Last Monday I threw up scrambled eggs that I chewed to the point where I couldn't anymore...kind of hard to chew eggs when they are already in small pieces! So you are not the only one. I wish this one would have worked but I guess it was too much.

2 fills ago, I probably should have taken some out. But I was losing and felt good, so I waited it out and was OK. That fill lasted 3 months. I was filled last week and am only now starting eggs and a little meat.

my fill in june was that way - 3 weeks of heart burn and very little food but the weight was pouring off, my last fill was a nightmare and after a week and not being able to drink more than 1 or 2 oz of fluid i went back for an unfill. they only took out .5cc but now i am too loose and if i am not careful i could easily over eat,, my next app is septt 23rd and i will chat about how to fix this ...
