I have been banded for 5 yrs. went to get a fill on Thursday was at 7cc she added 1/2 cc have not been able to keep liquids down. Should I give it a few more days?

Not keeping liquids down means you are too tight regardless if it is immediate after post fill swelling or anytime.

If you eventually are able to keep liquids down, then how on earth will you be able to eat any solids? Sometimes removing the smallest amount possible of about .1cc will make a difference since you are 5 years out.

If you do decide to keep this fill, be warned, these types of fills causes, esophageal damage, slippage and pouch dilation.

Good luck

"can't keep liquids down" Dehydration can set in FAST....sooner than a few days. I'd suggest calling today, like now...just my opinion. Best wishes.

If you can't keep liquids down, you can't wait until Tuesday. You will become dangerously dehydrated long before then.

I'd call your doctor's after hours number ASAP. If he doesn't have one, I'd go to the ER of the hospital he works at and have them call him in to unfill you.

Apparently it's not that bad yet, since you feel you can wait until Tuesday, but in the meantime, you may want to sip warm liquids and room temp Water and nothing cold, and warm broth, and get a heat pad and put it to your chest, this sometimes helps reduce swelling, and if you are able to keep that down, if you can't keep anything down, you may need to go to the ER if you feel lightheaded and dizzy.

most doctors have 24/7 coverage. (mine does) Better to call now than wait until Tuesday. Feel better.

I'm sorry you are feeling this. It's always a better idea to schedule fills early in the week in case you need an unfill so you don't run into the weekend problem.

I feel so much better. Went to hospital and they took out .3 cc made such a big difference.

I'm going to stay on liquids for 2days. I don't like any Protein shakes any suggestion??? Any ideas when u r on liquids????

I am very happy you went to the hospital and didn't wait over the long weekend.

As for shakes, I have a super great recipe. I have one every morning. I use chocolate Body Fortress (around $15-17. at Walmart). 8 oz. FF milk, 1 scoop Body Fortress, a little decaf instant coffee, a little peppermint extract and tons of ice and blend until it looks like McDonald's or Wendy's thick shakes. They taste great with no after taste, the coffee and peppermint do that. I use a Hamilton Beach small blender which is also a drinking cup under $20. at Walmart or Target. I love them.

Have a great weekend.
