I recently just went through all this being tight. I am 16 mths post op, received a fill on Aug 11 which brought me up to 7 cc's in band. I was at 5 cc's. I literally had pain with the tiniest of sips of fluids, I could only eat slider foods...a very small amount. 2 peanut m&ms and I was full...my Vitamins filled me up. I did this for 2 mths, thinking it would get better...I finally had dr take out 1 cc. I had lost 22 lbs in the 2 mths. I am on my last 20 lbs...and havent lost any since he took out the 1 cc I can tell you from experience that you should not be throwing up, it is not normal. But yes you can be tight with small amount of Fluid in band...did your dr put some in when you first had surgery?? Maybe you just didn't know it! good luck

I lost 84lbs with the most fill being 3.8 cc in a 10 cc band. Also I do not want to started something but people do throw-up from spitting up to full out empting of the pouch. My surgeon knew about it and we never figured out for sure what was causing it, many things can. I do not think it is healthy to throw-up up it happens what can we say, we would rather not.

I went went for a fill 2 wks ago, even though I didn't really "need" it... Ended up having to get unfilled 10 days later v/c I was still javing trouble keeping Water down. Best decsion ever! I gained one pound the past 5 days, but I was really dehydrated.
