I got a fill yesterday and I'm so, so tight....

I can't drink more than 1/8 of a cup of liquids an hour. Any more than that and I throw up. It's taking me forever to drink my Protein shakes.

My coffee though, I guess since it's hot, goes down really easily.

I know it could just be swelling- I threw up 5 or 6 times yesterday afternoon. Now I'm slowing way down and sipping on things. If I'm still like this Friday morning should I go for a slight unfill before the weekend or wait it out a bit longer?

A month ago I was like this and it kept up for almost 2 weeks and it was all from swelling. As soon as the swelling went away, BAM I could eat anything again including bread and chicken.

Swelling for now.. yea if you can't after a day or two i'd call your doctor.

Well you know your body better than anyone, if this is what happened last time then I would wait it out a few weeks to see if normalizes like before. I do find it odd that you can't keep liquids down though. That's never happened to me and I am very tight with a good fill right now.

Spoiltmom--I feel the EXACT same way! I too, got a fill yesterday and feel SO tight! I am having the exact same problems you are with everything-liquids and all! I got a fill about a month and a half ago, and had to have a small unfill after 2 weeks because I couldnt keep anything down. This was my first fill since the unfill and I was very excited about it until I got it LOL. I was afraid there was something wrong with me, sorry you are having problems, but I am so glad that I am not the only one going through this!!

I got a fill 3 weeks ago and it has been so tight that things were backing up in the middle of the night and waking me. I could hardly drink coffee and get it through. It was so tight that I was very uncomfortable. I was just so afraid that if I did not do something about it that it would cause problems down the line. The band has been in for almost 2yrs and I have had NOTING go wrong or turn bad with the band at all. I just did not want any issues. I feel so much better since I had a bit removed. I can sleep and drink fluids with out it hurting so much. And even though I am under 200 for the 1st time in over 20 yrs I still got some Fluid removed.

Just keep a watch and pay close attention to how you feel. You will know if you need to get some taken out trust that and your intuition.

Good luck

I had a fill that made me too tight and I had to have it taken out 5 days later. My problem is it pushes stuff/slime up into my throat and irritates my esphagus to where I can't eat. Weird! My PA said to take the next fill slower meaning that they not add so much. Just do .3 cc or .5 at a time and not the 1 cc that they did. I hope you feel better soon.

I agree! Karen

I have been too tight, and hesitated to go in for an unfill thinking it was swelling and not wanting to be hungry. Once I "sucked it up" and went in for an unfill I felt much better. I even still had restriction. I suffered longe than necessary. If your still having trouble Friday I would call for sure. Hope you feel bette soon.
