I had my second band fill yesterday at 4:30. Over 24 hours later I am not able to keep water down. I have tried Crystal Light and Chicken broth as well with no luck. Is this normal with the swelling that occurs with a fill or do I need to call my doctor for another adjustment? All comments greatly appreciated.

Too tight. If you can't keep water down you need a small unfill.

Agreed, too tight. As someone who has suffered through being too tight for two months due to insurance and billing issues I strongly recommend you go in as soon as possible to have an unfill of what you had put in - or at least 1/2-3/4 of what you had put in.

I would say you need to call the Dr right away. You shouldnt be having trouble with liquid.

I know all Dr's are different but mine has me drink water after the fill.... while the needle is still in me. If I can't keep the water down he takes some out ...right on the spot. May want to ask your Dr about that... would save time and hassle...not to mention discomfort!!!

Reverie - did you really reach Onerland after 1 month??!! Is that even possible?

I believe at surgery I was 238 not 245 but yes I did hit 199 in July, was banded in May.

That gives me such hope!!!

I looked at your ticker and thought that could be me next year-we were/are about the same weight. I can't even ever imagine wearing a size 2!!!!!!!! How great that must feel!! Can you share any secrets to your success? Did you have restriction right away?

Me either; I never imagined being a size 2! I never knew my frame was so small! I still have hips though thankfully lol. It's an amazing feeling

Honestly, no secrets. I just had my head in the game and was ready. I believe the aggressive exercise I do really helps along with starting off with a really low carb diet. I don't low carb anymore but carbs were my addiction; nowadays I can eat them without wanting to splurge.

Yes, restriction since day 1. I don't have the type of restriction most people seek. I am content eating a cup or a little more of food. Eating 1/4 cup of food seems too unhealthy for me. I keep my band loose so I can enjoy food, not completely erase something from my diet.
