Band Sensitivity And Goo, Anyone?

I was unfilled on Thursday. I had 3cc in a 10cc band and was just too tight, had 1cc taken out on Tuesday. Went to liquids, pain going down. I had been eating soft foods, but they were making me make a bunch of extra clear mucous and I'd cough and it'd go flying out of my mouth... quite nasty. So, now I am unfilled. I am eating, still soft foods. No pain. But... I am starting to produce the clear mucous again. I am chewing, not eating more than I am supposed to, not eating to fast... but within 30 minutes of finishing I am congesting, and coughing up little bits of clear mucous.

Anyone have this problem?

I have no more Fluid to take out, and my doctor doesn't want me on liquids. I overheard my the assistant who was unfilling me as they were going through my charts outside the door speaking with someone and them saying they think I might have a sensitivity to the band... I'm not sure what that means, and I didn't feel like asking at the time (was tired and uncomfortable). I am hoping that all of this is being acerbated from my allergies and once they are over I won't have to deal with the good.. but for now. bleh.

I am having a similar problem, look at my post. I only eat a few bites of food and feel full and start that mucous thing. I only started recently I have very little fluid in the band because everytime I go for a fill I can't tolerate much fluid. I drink the water and it starts backing up on me. I might have to have it all taken out.

My band is sensitive in that I can only get .5 cc Max fill at a time or I swell shut. And I have to be on liquids for about a week and then soft foods before I can even think about solids.. . Maybe they meant something like that?
