I just left

The doctor where I got my second fill. She intended to give me 1cc but my port "sucked up" another .5 !! Lol! I told her that's because we are HUNGRY!! I sipped my water and everything seems good, though I swear I can feel something different, even when not drinking. I feel a tightening in my chest. It's not uncomfortable at all, it's just an awareness....

Has anyone felt this way? My BIGGEST fear is being too tight-- my port is very tender and this second fill hurt pretty badly. I don't want anymore!

Your stomach is likely a bit swollen from the fill, which is normal, and would cause that tightness you're feeling.

I always stay on liquids for 24 hours after a fill then very cautiously work real food back in. You'll find every fill is truly a learning experience, especially as you increase the amount in your band.

Best wishes.

I don't understand why the person would put more in the suringe then what she was going to put in..odd. anyway stay on liqids and call them if you don't feel better in 2 days

Seems the tightness was temporary. I feel like myself now and will be on liquids for the rest of today.... Thanks for the advice!
