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....

thanks abby, i see the dr. on tuesday. i'll know more then, thanks for your reply

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.
