Too Tight; Miserable; Not Losing

I had my last fill at the end of January 2012 and now have 7cc in my 10cc band. Since that day I have thrown up pretty much every day almost every meal...my saliva gets so thick I have to throw it up I can't eat any protein I can't eat before 2pm or it gets stuck only thing I can do is drink coffee in the mornings along with protein shakes oh and by 4 pm I am so hungry I eat chips because that's all that will go down! I made an appointment for tomorrow to get some fluid taken out! I hope to get some relief so I can have some chicken salads again!!!! The first 2-3 weeks of my fill I lost 10 pounds but haven't lost anything since! I need change cause I can't live like this!!!

Glad you're feeling relief! Often you only need a couple points of a cc removed to be able to eat properly. That's what I'm hoping for tomorrow. This morning I got stuck on juice! :wacko:

going in today for an unfill and now that I have read this I feel better. I haven't lost, can't eat good food so I eat the bad food since it goes down and i throw up at least once a day. He filled it just a tad too much last time. I had it unfilled for surgery and the second refill he went too tight. Going on vacation and do not want to be yack attacking in the middle of sea world. the other day I went out, had fish, couldn't make it to the bathroom, it was busy so i had to let it go in the sink. OMG I about died. Pregnant woman in there was real nice and concerned asked me if I was ok and I'm like, so sorry, so very sorry. I have the lap band and it's too tight. good gawd I wont be back there for a while. I did clean it up but egad.

Omg!!! That sounds just like how I was!! Having a unfill sounds like your going in the wrong direction but that is far from the truth!!! I had my unfill last Tuesday and it was the best decision i have made since Lapband! I can eat the right things now and actually enjoy it without having to taste it a second time when it comes back up!!! And I have lost 2 lbs! Best decision ever!!!! The doc said I had 6.6 in my 10cc band and she took .5 out it was the biggest relief ever! Good luck!!! Let us know how it goes!
