Am I Too Tight?

So I will call my surgeon in the morning. I was banded on Feb 28 and was feeling great. Lost 19lbs. I was feeling hungry after like 3 hrs. But when I ate I felt full fast. So the band was doing what I want and need it to do. Then last week I went in for my first fill (last Wednesday). She took all the saline out and it was just under 5ccs, then she added it plus 1 cc back in. Since then I felt like crap every time I drink or eat. My stomach hurts, my back hurt, even my sternum hurts. I feel this way with water! Is this a too tight feeling? I did get what I guess is stuck yesterday in ham. This is the second time I tried ham and it is not good for me. It did cause me to throw up yesterday. And now those back, sternum, and stomach feeling are worse.

I want her to take the 1cc out. I was doing great before it!

yes, I agree...you probably didnt need that fill or maybe just a tiny part of a cc...my last fill was 0.3cc and it took off my last 15 pounds in a snap...

when you are close to your sweet spot the smallest amount will make a huge difference. my surgeon really listens to me when i tell how much i think i need to be at good restriction. she may need only to take out .5cc so that you will have gotten .5cc's. best wishes and i hope you get relief soon i know how being too tight feels..not a picnic at all!

You're too tight. I'm going through the same thing right now, been about a week. Have been on liquids for 2 days now. I kept waking up everyday hoping that the pain would be gone...nope! So my alarm is set and I will be at my drs office as soon as they open for an unfill. You should probably do the same. It will only get worse! Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I am going in for an unfill in about an hour. I should have listened to my gut and not gotten the fill at all! I was doing great before it!

Hopefully I will feel the same as last week when a little is taken out!
