i just had my first fill and can not get water down...even a lil sip wont go threw...today is the second day and im not hungry...in fact im glad that im eating close to nothing and not hungry...but im worried about not getting the water down.....will it take some time to ajust?? am i to tight??

Water not going down is definitely a symptom that one needs an unfill.

Fills can indeed be very tricky and vary a lot from person to another.

hope you'll feel better soon,

i went to go get an unfill and i can now drink water...plus im still not hungry..so yea!! hopefully i lost some wieght cuz i didnt eat for three whole day!!

Glad you got the unfill Unfills are not as scary as people make them out to be. or they dont HAVE To be I guess I should say .

Im glad your feeling better.

I had my 3rd fill yesterday and it is the first time I have had restriction since my banding in Sept.07. I have not been able to really keep anything down other than some water. However, I did keep a small yogurt down. Is my fill too tight? I really don't want to have any removed if I knew that it would loosen up a little. Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks

once i made the terrible mistake of keeping myself too tight after a fill and i almost ended up in the hospital.

Water should definitely go down....

i also lose better when i can eat. when i couldnt eat.....my weight loss stopped

I would call and discuss it with your doc ?

My doc keeps me on liquids for 6 days post fill so the swelling goes down .

So i would call the doc it does sound like you could be too tight.

Thanks. I am doing a little better and was able to hold down about a half cup of mashed potatoes today. I think I was maybe over-reacting. However, I will call if I throw up again. BTW, I see several banders talking about something called "PB"....what does that mean?
