Hi, I am new to the fourm but I wanted to say that based on what I am reading, I have all the classic symptoms of over fill. I went in last week and my doc put 1.6cc in my band and since then, I have thrown up almost every piece of food I have tried to eat. I have managed to keep saltine crackers, a bit of chicken, broth, grits, and a bit of eggs. coffee, tea, milk and Water down. I am also experiencing the night cough thing and to me that is worse than not being able to eat. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get 'unfilled' I am hoping to take out what they put in, wait until my next followup--end of July, and maybe have him but 1/2 the amount back. I have thrown up more this week than the entire 2 years since I have had my band. I feel so stupid because I asked to be 'cinched' up because I was eating a bit more that I thought I should.

They don't have to take it all out. I had 0.3ml taken out and it made a HUGE difference. They will have you drink while removing Fluid and you can determine where it feels comfortable.

Hey, I went to the Doc yesterday and she pulled 1.4cc out of my band and had IMMEDIATE relief. I was actually able to drink, not sip, but drink a cup of Water. I have not thrown up anything since then, no nausa or anything. I know I was suppose to stick to mushy stuff but I ate food yesterday and it was wonderful. This is the best I have felt in a week... I lost a total of 7.6 pounds during my hell week and I will try to maintain the weight loss until I go back. I definitely do not want to gain but losing it that way certainly was not worth it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
