A Fill after a year

Hey guys I wonder if anyone can help.

I had my first fill in over a year last week and now I'm having real problems at night time, coughing and waking with a mouth full of saliva then being sick, well gagging mainly!

I had 5.5ml in my band and the doctor drained it to see how much was there as I couldn't remember after a year, he then topped it up to 6.5ml

I'm now to scared to eat or drink anything as its causing me great discomfort during the day, I was ok thursday, friday, saturday. sunday but it started on Monday night.

Any ideas??? I don't want to have it taken out if possible as had started to gain a couple of pounds and not quite where I need to be yet.

Thanks

Go back and get some taken out,1ml was obviously too much. You don't need it all taken out . Remember if you stay too tight you are more likely to gain weight than lose as you will end up consuming high calorie slider foods. Also reflux etc are not healthy and a too tight band can lead to slippage,

You should probably also stay with liquids until you can get back in. Anything that might get stuck in there will just cause more irritation and swelling.
