After a year and a half post op I finally got my first fill last Monday. I lost over 120 pounds on my own with nothing in my band! I am now miserable and haven't felt right since. I have barely eaten, sure can't get in protein, I have heartburn so bad into my back despite taking my prilosec as ordered, my normal every day pills are now getting stuck and it hurts so bad. My band feels like it's spasming.. I'm just not right at all. When they filled me they had me sit and drink water till it went down easy to know how much fluid to put in, I thought that was an easy way to judge. I did have her take a little fluid out right then because it felt the water was hesitating going down and I didn't want that. I'm wondering how long do I wait to call it a day and just go get an unfill so I can feel normal again? I was allowed to advance my diet to regular foods yesterday and I didn't because I didn't want to deal with any issues so I just ate yogurt instead. I can't imagine trying a piece of meat if my pills are even getting stuck (pills that I've easily taken down normally) it hurts and I don't like it. Any suggestions?! Thanks..

Unfill asap. You shouldn't feel this way. Let us know how it goes. Sorry you had a bad experience. Why a fill after so much success?

I finally got the point where I was eating more than I wanted to be able to so I knew it was time to catch it quickly before I started to gain any back. Thanks for the advice I think I'm calling Monday if I don't feel better.
