Am I Too Tight?

I got a fill last Thursday (8 days ago) and followed my drs recommendation of liquids, then mushies. I had no problems the first few days. Monday I tried to go back to my normal foods, but can't seem to keep I down. It's so strange because things were fine over the weekend with the mushy foods. Anything I try to eat now seems to be getting stuck. I have a TON of slime--more tan I have ever seen! I've tried protein shakes and even frozen custard, but I've had trouble with both. Yesterday I was able to eat a bit of crockpot chicken for lunch and it stayed down, but no luck at dinner. I even struggle with water.

  • Wow, sorry nobody has responded to this yet. Yes, it sounds like you need just a little unfill if you can't even get water down. However keep in mind that you are likely to be tighter in the mornings

Hot beverages are better than cold if you are struggling keeping liquids down I'd say you need a tiny unfill.

Little unfill for sure!!!! If you can't even get liquids down in the a.m you are too tight and trust me that is no way to live because I lived with slimming for months because I was so scared to get some taken out because I didn't want to gain weight but when I finally did I was sooooooo relieved! It was the best thing I ever did!

agreed...call your Dr

Please call your doctor...it shouldn't be an unpleasant experience having our bands. Let us know how it goes.

As the others said you may need a slight unfill. Mornings we are usually tighter because of Fluid settling around our bands overnight while we sleep and as it drains away the band becomes looser. You were probably fine over the weekend because all the fluid hadn't made it the the band area. Now that it has you're feeling much tighter. I queried this today with my doctor when I went in for my fill this morning as I've noticed the same pattern after a fill, not much difference for a few days then a big difference. Also with each fill it's taking even smaller bites of food.

Hope you get it sorted out quickly.
