Greetings, Bandsters,

I just had an adjustment yesterday (Monday), and began to experience gurgling. At first I thought I was adjusting, since it seemed that most of my Fluid was actually in the tubing, rather than the band, I got a little more fluid to bring me up to a true 4.5 cc.

Well, all night I had tremendous back gas pain, such reflux that I was breathing with my mouth open, and finally threw up some clear liquid. Earlier, I had managed to get some Soup down, but today even getting Water down is causing discomfort. I'm not going to my dance class tonight for fear of dehydration.

I called my RN who did the fill, and he says I'm too tight. I will go in tomorrow (Wednesday) to have some removed.

Unpleasant!

Good luck with the unfill.

Just shows you how everyone reacts differently with the band.....no 2 people are the same.

My first fill was 4cc's, and did absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact I was as hungry as ever and gained weight afterwards.

Whew!

I went to the office at 8am, they saw me right away and withdrew 1cc. Immediately I was able to drink Water without an atomic bubble rising up as the water went down.

The RN said that it isn't good to wait if you are too tight because swelling increases. I can't believe how much better I feel so quickly!

Thanks for your support!

Update: not only am I feeling so much better, I managed to get through my friend's wedding without over eating, and I lost half a pound since the re-adjustment!

Don't suffer being too tight!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
