I now have 6cc in a 10cc band...

Eating has become very uncomfortable - I burp all the time when i am eating - everything feels like it sits in my chest - its just all around annoying .

I was at 5cc before this last fill and I was losing weight good.

My next appt isnt for 5 weeks ... What should I do ?

How long has it been since the fill? My inclination is always to baby the band for a good while after a fill; swelling can really affect the way it feels, and if I advance things too rapidly, I can send my progress backwards.

So, as long as I can keep fluids down, I take things very slowly----usually, that does the trick; within a week or so, things are a-okay. (Liquid Benadryl helps with the inflammation.)

If liquids are difficult, that is a completely different story; for that, medical attention is needed right away.

Ok I will hold out - I got this fill on thursday. I can totally drink and keep down food so I will wait. Thanks !

If you were losing weight with 5cc you shouldn't have been given another fill. Get a slight unfill.

What does your doctor recommend for the first 48 hours post fill? Were you eating solids? My doctor requires full liquids first 24 and soft/mushies next 24. I had my third fill to now 7 CC's and for now I definally feel a difference from the 6 I was at. I think I would have had an issue if I had tried to eat solids those first 2 days.

My .02...I'd wait. I have the opposite problem. I feel nothing for two weeks after a fill and then all of a sudden "WHAMMO". So now I wait 3-4 weeks for a fill just to make sure I don't end up overfull again.
