I need help! I got another fill on Monday, which brings me to a 7.3 in a 10 cc band. I felt fine after the fill, the Water went down all day no problem. For lunch that day I ate some Soup went down fine but when dinner time rolled around, I tried to drink a Protein shake and it was a no-go, got stuck and came right back up. Tuesday morning had coffee just fine, then for lunch tried to eat baked potato, no-go puked my guts out! I backed off again then for dinner tried the soup thing again and could not keep it down, but for some strange reason I was able to eat potato chips and keep them down? I usually don't eat them but by that time I was hungry. This morning was the worst, couldn't even get coffee down but water goes down fine. I'm not sure if I should give it a couple more days because it's a new fill to see if maybe there is swelling or if I'm too tight alltogether and need a slight unfill??? I have a call in to the clinic but it's 2 hours away so if any of you have any suggestions that can help, it would be great!

Thanks

Had a fill on Thursday,1cc, felt fine, Friday could not keep much down, not even Water, tried to drink my Protein shakes and they would not go down, Saturday still getting stuck with fluids, Sunday tried some soup, barley could get it down, Sunday night constanly throwing up, at night acid reflux, misable, felt like I was dyning. Went to doctor on Monday, first patient in office, they removed 1.5cc, I was swollen, and in pain, this is the worst fill, i ever got, they did a scope to make sure my band had not slipped, I feel so much better today, they told me to stay on liquids for a few days, it is so funny I wanted restriction and I got it too much, but if ever in doubt if you are in the red zone, and it don't feel right go to the doctor, this site helped me make that decsion, because I was going to wait it out, and from the scope they say I am still very tight and have a lot of irritation, I go back in two weeks unless I have problems, they told me not to hesitate to come back in, the staff is the best, thank god, for the good doctors and nurses and PA at Memorial Health in Savannah Georgia, and thank you guys for the good advice.

i used to think i would want my band really tight too, until it happened. ended up getting 2 emergency unfills..had good restriction for about 2.5 months, got sick and band tightened back up. now i'm going in monday for a small unfill.

Since I had my unfill, I am craving and eating everything in sight, this surgery surely have it ups and downs, I go in on the 12 March to get a fill, can't wait, long as I don't get in the red zone again, that was awful, I have never felt so sick and for days, never will I ever wait that long to go to the doctor. But I do admit, I have no regrets getting the band, I finally can look in the mirrow at myself, and know this is me, I was getting so big people did not reconize me, I felt so bad and ashamed I let myself get that big, but I will get this eating under control eventually, because I never want to look like I did before, I could barley move and felt bad all the time.
