Need advice, I got a fill on Wednesday it was just a small fill .10 cc but it took the nurse over 5 minutes to find my port and ended up jabbing me multiple times. Since then I don't know if I am swollen from stress from the fill or starting my period but I am having difficult swallowing my pills, I have only eaten mushies. Don't know how long I should wait to see if I should get an unfill or have patience???

You should go in soon. It is important that you are able to eat solids. I too had to go in for an unfill. You will feel so much better.

It's been long enough you shouldn't still be having problems with solid foods. I'd definitely call your surgeon and see about a small unfill.

Thank you everyone for you advise. I ended up getting .50 cc removed from my band. As soon as it was removed instant relief.. Wish I wouldn't have waited that long to have it removed, however my doctor is 2.5 hours away from where I live....

I have 5 cc band and 3 months ago I filled with .5 so now I am at 3 cc but for last 3 weeks I have a hard time to eat any solid food I am confused I was fine suddenly got tight. I am PB 4 to 5 times a day I have an appointment next Thursday just wondering how much should I remove? It is costly every time I fill or un fill. Please help any suggestion? I don't want to be loose I just wanted to be able solid food I can keep liquid not creamy liquid but no matter I eat slow and chew my food seems like stuck and doesn't go down.

Have them take some of your fill out and try drinking water. They kept doing that until I could drink water w/o any gurgling or pain. Today I feel like a complete new person.
