Do I need an un-fill?

I went in for a fill 2 days ago. I was at 6cc's in a 9cc band. I had been doing great and seemed to find my sweet spot, but I did start to get hungry and eat more a week prior to the fill. So, my doctor filled me up to 6.6cc's As usual he had me drink a bottle of water and eat yogurt before I left the office to make sure I wasn't too tight. I was fine. I went home and had some soup for dinner with no problem. Well, the next day I went to work and had a protein shake for breakfast then soup for lunch. Next thing I know, I could not keep my lunch down. Later that night I had soup for dinner and could not keep that down. I was starving, so I tried broth, tea, jello, etc...could not keep any of it down. So here I am another day and not able to keep anything down. I called the doctor and he wants to see if I can keep down fluids today and then go in for unfill tomorrow. My fear is that he will unfill me too much and I will start gaining weight. I have worked so hard and my weight loss has been slow and steady...I would hate to fall back any in my progress. I am hoping that maybe since I was just filled, it just needs time to adjust and maybe between now and tomorrow I can actually keep things down. Has anyone had this type of problem ? What happend? Anu suggestions?

I am experiencing the same. My fill was Wednesday at 4:00pm. I can't keep liquids down. I am waiting a few days before I ask for an unfill. I hope it is due to swelling.

I hope you feel better soon.

I was fillledlast Tuesday and havent been able to keep anything down..Sliming a lot after drinking Water. I think i am going for an unfill on Monday scared because this is my 3rd fill and I feel it's to tight.

I believe you need an unfil. I went on last Thursday 27th of Jan. And I know I'm at my sweet spot because I feel totally different than I've had before. Thankfully I've been able to keep fluids down and jello and yogurt and even a salad on yesterday.. You probably just need a slight adjustment like .2 taken out or something like that.. I'm scared though to start on real food solids you would say... but tonight I plan on eating spaghetti hopefully that will be ok, but we'll see.. call your dr and try and get in asap, because you don't want to be become dehyrdrated.. Good Luck..
