Hi, can I get some advise please. I got my first fill a week ago tomorrow,I had 1.5 in at surgery and got 3 added. But tonight after having dinner I feel awful. Burning chest pain and sore shoulders. I feel like I need a massive burp. Have I just eaten to quickly, or do you think I have so,etching stuck. Will my pouch stretch because of this? I'm in agony! How can I resolve it? I've been banned since 22/9/13. Thanks

Beach, I'm going through the same thing. Can't wait to get some fluid in again. However, how much, I do not know, but I'm not allowing my doctor to make the decision for me since he is quite aggressive with fills. He normally likes putting in 2-3 cc at a time. Not me! I will tell him to put only 1 cc. If water goes down well, good! If not, I'll have him remove .5 cc. It's my band, and my body! Plus, I'm self pay, so he's not going to tighten me up like before.

You got a very large fill. I would try to go up more gradually. I only have 3cc in my bad and food gets stuck quite often if I don't chew well

Good for YOU! I am going to try and presuede my nurse to put atleast .5 back in as right now It's like I don't even have a band!!!

I think everyone is different in what they ned and how th band reacts.

When was your surgery?
