Hi everyone. I had a fill today and I've been struggling to keep down even water, let alone any other drinks. Is this normal?? I do burp which I assumed is normal and indicates that the fluid is going down. But every time I have a drink I bring most of it up. I've had my band for 1 year now and I've had no issues at all. Will things settle down in the next few days or does this mean my band is too tight. I'm at six and a quarter which I didn't think was to tight. Will it settle or will I need a de fill? I'm worried I'll become dehydrated. Thanks. Marina

You may be a tad too tight. You should be able to get and keep Water down. Were you given some water to drink immediately after the adjustment? And it went/stayed down comfortably? If you have not improved since you posted your note, call your bariatric office. Someone should be on call. I'm guessing that you're in Belgium and may have had the fill close to 20 hours ago.

The amount of saline in your band means nothing. What does matter is how well any amount works for you. It's possible that even a fill that seems good while still in the office can prove too much after a while.
