Think I am too tight

I had my 2nd fill 3 weeks ago. I am at 3 cc in a 10 cc band. I was fine the first week (definitely had restriction) but since week 2 I have been having a LOT of trouble with getting stuck. Basically every meal I do...even with taking very small bites. I can't even take a large drink of water without it coming back up. Isn't it unusual for it to be delayed like that? I thought I could hold out until my appt next week but everything I seem to eat/drink is uncomfortable going down.

I've read that it takes a couple of weeks to really feel the full effect of the fill. Also, my band gets super tight right before my time of the month. ;) If it is that tight that you are not eating - call your doctor! Good Luck to you!!

I can eat, it is just pretty uncomfortable. I think I'll give them a call.

After not being able to get broth down comfortably today I called and am going in for an unfill tomorrow.

Relief!!! The PA took out the 1cc that she put in last month and I instantly felt better. Too tight indeed!

Very glad you were in the right mind to get an unfill.

Remember - a tiny unfill can be the difference between being too full and gaining weight (due to eating sliders) and being in your green zone.

Congrats on being back in a good place.
