overfill????

[tinagirl 0]

I need a little help, I had my surgery about 4 months, after 2 fills i complained to my dr. that i could eat anything and wasn't getting full, he let me know that it could take upto 4 or 5 fills, so i got my 3rd fill, and boy oh boy is it working, i cant eat anything only mushies, i think i have a overfill if thats possible, but i dont want to complain again. Can someone let me know what happens if your overfilled.

go to: Main Lap-Band Surgery Forums and then look at the thread titled "fills" for all kinds of info and feedback

I got overfilled, and I must have eaten to fast or something to big, because my new pouch became irritated and inflamed and was swelling against the band, to the point that I would get a burning sensation from even drinking water.... all this because I didn't want to complain.... so I had to go back in and get deflated and now am trying to give my stomach time to heal, and gaining some weight back..... so complain, complain, complain....

sometimes just the smallest fill can cause me to swell, throw up and become inflamed. I kept complaining till finally I was diagnosed with hi henia. Don't play around with this. Complain.
