I had a fill this past Thursday, I have already lost 7lbs. My concern is could my band be too tight. I can barely eat anything, I have a total of 9cc in my 11cc realize band. I'm getting sick a lot through the day.

I would suggest call doc. I just got banded, o I don't really know, but from reding this sight I would say ya. Good Luck

I would call the doctor. You may need a tiny defill.

Double check what you are eating first......

It is a fine line...a perfect balance between having the perfect amount of restriction and the foods you eat, along with how you are eating....

Also, many people have told me, after that last fill, it took as much as 2 weeks fir things to settle down....after a fill, especially when you are near full restrcition, you ashould be on liquids for a day or 2, then slowly move to mushies, etc.....an irriated band will always be irritated untill you give it a rest.....as after a fill....

My last fill, which was 20 months ago, took me about a month untill everything settled down...I called my Dr. after 2 weeks, and was advised, and reminded, about the liquids and soft foods at first....

Many people immediatley jump and get a un-fill, and feel better...but did they miss out on the optimal band setting??? Who knows for sure.....

Call your doctor, tell him exactly what's going on, and let him decide what's best.

It's always better to be safe than sorry.

I lost 6lbs in 3 days from being too tight. Water felt like it was getting stuck and I had heartburn. I had 1cc taken out and they told me I would gain the lbs back bc it was most likely water weight but it all stayed off

Hey guys! I went to see my Dr. And he did a 1/2 cc defill and I feel so much better. I could tell right away after I drank water after defill. I so far have kept those pounds off and excited to see how much I will lose the rest of this month! My husband is deployed currently and I can't wait to show him the new me when he returns!

That's awesome news! My husband says if Water weight counts against u, it should work for u lol.

Hope he returns home safe to u soon, u 2 will have plenty to celebrate!

I was having the same issues. I went in 2 weeks ago and had 0.5 put in and it was way too tight. As soon as she put the needle in my port she said "Oh yeah, you are too tight, the fluid is coming out on its own." So she took out 0.25 and i feel SO much better! I am at 6.7 in a 10 band,

This is me. It takes at least two weeks for things to settle down and give me a real feel for what level of restriction I have.
