I had a fill last week in my 10cc band and my doctor put in 1cc in so overall I have 9cc, I thought I was getting closer to the green zone then this happens!!!:'(

Everything was fine until .....yesterday when i continuously started throwing up everything i was eating so I decided to go on liquids today!! Nothing is staying down! Even Water is coming right up

I can't sleep as I feel as if there is a golf ball stuck on my chest!!!! I keep burping and the pain is terrible!

I called my surgeon today in the morning who could not do anything today as he's in a another city until tomorrow early morning but he referred me to the hospital where I am now with a drip as I am dehydrated !!!!!!!

I will be getting an unfill in 6 hours as soon as he arrives!!!! Counting down!!!!! I am thirsty!!! Throat is dry!!!

It is always better to have small fills to reach your green zone than have big ones and exceed the sweet spot! Believe me the pain is worst than food getting stuck!

:'(

Trying so hard not to cry!!!!!!!!!

So sorry to hear this!!!! I hope you get taken care of soon! And to think I was upset today with my very first fill of 2cc's and how slow this process is going to be. Take care!!

I hope so too!!! Thanks a lot!!!

Noooo don't even be upset trust me small fills are much much better for u!!!!!!!! You will reach the green zone slow but right with no pain or mistake!!! you might even reach there sooner than you think... Everyone is different!

Thanks x

Hope he arrives ASAP here and unfills me quickly!!!! I am really thirsty

Praying you begin feeling well,,, :wub:

Thanks a lot I hope I do soon!

Still waiting....:'( xx

OMG how horrible! This is my worst nightmare!!! Definitely agree with getting small fills. Especially the closer you get to the green zone. There's no reason to get more than .1cc at a time when you're feeling pretty good.

Good luck to you. I'll be thinking of you and sending good vibes your way!!

I know!!!! I hope it never happens to anyone here and we all learn from each others mistake so avoid trying to have big fills for faster restrictions!! yh I was so close to the green zone :'(

Thanks so much! Yaay!!

Xxxxx

Finally got unfilled to 4CC now but feel sooo much better! What a relief!!! xxx

Oh boy..I totally know that feeling. I got a little greedy one time and wanted it tighter. Since I was a cash-paying patient, I wanted the most for my money. The PA put in a little bit, and it came out to be 8.7 cc in an 11cc realize band. I left the office feeling ok, but didn't feel great.

Got home, couldn't even drink Water. It came up, I was burping, sliming, the whole nine yards.

I slept through the night and it was so painful and I was just as thirsty as you were.

Called the next day, got fluids removed down to 7 cc and now I am good to go. It was really scary so I know what you were going through. So glad to hear you are okay now

Thanks a lot! xxx

I've been banded for almost 4 years. I have experienced being too tight. It is not a great feeling. I had my last fill in Jan 2013 and since then, I had 3 unfills. I still could not eat or drink anything. X-rays on July 31st 2013 showed that my band had slipped 3 inches. My doctor said it was from being too tight for too long. I had to have emergency revision surgery. I don't wish this on anyone. Please take it easy and go for small fills.

Been there and I know the ugly feeling....I had 8.75 fill in my 10 band! I couldnt drink water i layed on the couch for 2 days thinking i was going to die! The next day I got a complete unfill.... Bad mistake! I was already at my goal weight then I gained 30 lbs in 6 mos... I am back on track got a 4 cc fill and will get another 2 cc this week.... Hope this 30 lbs goes away! Take my advice never get a complete unfill....

I will never get a complete unfill or I will gain it all!!! Aww good luck and the 30 lbs can defo be lost!!! Faster than you know it;)

Posts like this kinda freak me out. My surgeon doesn't do the, as he put it, "Cookie cutter" fills. Where you go and get a cc on your first fill, a cc on the second and so on and so on. What he does is on your first visit, they access the port and lock it down 100% so Water can't even get through, then sit you up on the edge of the bed and have you drink a few gulps of water, then they slowly remove the Fluid till you feel the water start to drain into the stomach, and that's your "sweet spot" for the fastest weight loss.

Reading about someone having these kinds of reactions to a 1 or 2 cc fill make me worried about suddenly getting a 8 - 9 cc fill all at once on the first visit. But he said that his patients lose as much weight as a bypass patient in their first year by cutting out all the time it takes to find your "sweet spot".

Oh my! That's kind of scary. Never heard of folks being done that way, but he is the expert. Not me.

I went through the same scenario of nearly ending up in the ER with just a fill of .3 in my band. I have never hurt that bad in my life, and I have a very high tolerance for pain. I'm just so happy we have this board to go to for discussion. It has calmed my nerves many times! I got another fill today after having to get an unfill last month. Hoping this is my last one!!
