I was banded 2/18/13. I have a total of 6cc in my 10cc band. My last fill was Monday it took me from 5cc to 6cc. I have not PB'd or thrown up since being banded. The problem is this. I can SIP my liquids with a straw no issue...my food is now hurting to go down. I take small bites and chew chew chew...Before the last fill I was able to eat 4 oz of food but was still hungry about two hour after eating...now two tablespoons in with pain I have to stop. Am I too tight? Could this get better with more time? What would you do? Thanks in advance and please be kind in your responses. I'm on edge and I dont want to go off on anyone.

I can't give you a definitive answer as to the problem, but my suggestion would be to call your Dr. and ask their advice.

Possibly you are too tight. Ask your surgeon for .5 cc removed. see if that will do it. I, too, have a 100 cc band, and can't tolerate my fill beyond 5.2 cc, best wishes,Karen
