I had my lap and placed about a year ago. I have been able to maintain about a 40 to 50 pound loss.Ups and downs and I totally refocused. I just had a fill on Tuesday and I am experiencing very increased restriction. I can barely keep liquids down. But the last time I had a fail I had to go for an unfilled the next day because he put too much fluid in the band and I and after that I basically had no restriction which is why I've been up-and-down so much so I don't want to jump the gun and go ahead and call and have him do it unfill when maybe this is just some swelling because I am experiencing a little more pain at my at my port site than I ever remember having before so I'm thinking maybe it's just swollen and I should wait a few days any advice??

Can you sip slowly and keep liquids down? If so, I might wait it out a couple of days. If even with slow sips things come up, I probably wouldn't wait, due to fear of dehydration.

If I take tiny sips it goes down . So I'll give it a day . Thanks for the response .

My surgeon tells me it can take 5 days for swelling from a fill to go down...I normally stay on liquids for that time.

Since I has three days of not keeping even water down . I went for an unfill hopefully he didn't take out too much . He does my fills under fluoro and says it looks like it's going through are you sure you want me to take any out ... I was like YES!!! I mean when the barium goes through it looks like it's fast but three days of torture ..... I went with having some taken out .
