Fill problem

I just had a full this morning, they removed all fluids to measure and then replaced and added to my band. I'm at 6. Cc on a 10cc band since I've left the office I have thrown up the water they had me drink and have vomited a couple times on only my saliva. Should I give it time and hope swelling is the issue or go have some fluid removed.

What you are describing are definite signs that your band is too tight.

My surgeon would not have allowed me to leave the exam room before chugging a small cup of Water to make certain that I did not have those type of indications for the band being too tight.

I also wait in the waiting area for around 30 minutes post fill and continue to sip water to make certain that I'm going to be able to keep fluids down.

I hope you get this resolved asap...dehydration could make you end up in the ER.

I'm headed in now, the office I had the fill at is now closed, so I'm having to drive an hour to the nearest one in louisville.

Hi, I had a fill yesterday- I was in so much pain last night. I am able to keep liquids down though. I talked to my doc and she said that she may have put too much in. So its a waiting game to see if the pain subsides if not I have to go back on Friday to have some taken out.. good luck to you! I know this is not an easy time for either of us.. Take Care!

My last fill on 1/8 I felt really tight. I have been too tight and had to go for an unfil, however this time I just couldn't eat much and had slight discomfort when I ate. I stuck it out since I was keeping food and liqued down. It has gotten much better and I am feeling better each day. When I was too tight and couldn't keep water down I went right back for an unfil, I couldn't live like that, plus you can slip, get dehydrated, etc... Call your Dr. if it doesn't get better.

Personaly I would call doctor. Maybe they can just take some of it out. It is not worth your health and well being. I had two unfills since my last fill and I am doing great! At least get your doctors opinion and dont just rely on the forum. Best of luck!
