I just had a 1/2 cc fill after only having a 1/4 cc fill a couple of months ago. I drank liquids fine yesterday. Today I have not been able to drink any liquid and continue to slim up. I'm not sure if this could be due to swelling or irritation.

Any input from anyone??????

It's probably just swelling related to the fill, but if it doesn't resolve itself in a couple days, you may need a slight unfill.

If you can't get down liquids you need to get an unfill. You will quickly become dehydrated if you don't

What Jess said. If liquids will not go down, call your doc ASAP. If you can get hydration, then you can wait a bit to see if swelling goes down.

Thanks everyone. I definitely was too full and had to end up getting the 1/2 cc completely taken back out. I don't know why I'm so sensitive but I will have to stick to 1/4 cc fills.

That is a good lesson for everyone! A 1/4 cc can make a big difference in lapband world! Best wishes for future loss. Karen

You are so right, 1/4 cc can make all the difference in the world. Before lapband, I joked about filling my band up and how I'de like the whole thing just filled to the rim...boy do I know better now. It is always best to consult your doctor with questions. I couldn't get down soft foods and some liquids for a few days after my last fill...and I am so glad it wasn't the 3 ccs I had asked the doctor for previously...more than a week later, I'm much better...I love the band!!!

I just had a 2 cc fill monday morning. By monday afternoon nothing would go down and stay down. I ended up going to er cuz dr was in surgery all day Tuesday. They took out 3 cc and I feel 100% better now but i am down to only 2.5cc left in my band. Dang it. I am going to just do .25 or.5 fills at a time now. I didnt like not being able to swallow my own spit. Slow and steady from now on. Better safe then have that horrible thing happen again.

I GUESS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I HAD A FILL ON NOV.4 AND WAS DOING FINE UNTILL TUESDAY I ATE A SMALL PIECE OF TAMALE AND STARTED THROWING UP AND COULDNT STOP.I COULDNT EVEN KEEP MY OWN SALIVA DOWN.IT STARTED AT 8PM AND ABOUT 6AM THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO THE ER.I HAD 7CC'S IN MY BAND THEY TOOK OUT 6.25CC'S.THATS ALL THEY COULD GET.INSTANTLY I FELT BETTER.I WAS TOLD MY BAND HAD SLIPPED A LIL.SO I GO TO THE DR ON FRIDAY TO SEE WHATS NEXT.

Good luck. I had a slip in Oct. and had to have surgery to fix it. My best wishes go out to you. Let us know what the surgeon tells you. Karen
