Well, I went and got a fill on Tuesday. Had 1.4 now at 1.6. I can't drink anything without throwing it up before around 1-2, but I can eat some baked potato. Does anyone else have a problem drinking? I am going to get an unfill on Monday, just have him take out the .2 that he put in. I have had the acid reflux. I am also having it when I lay down. Aunt Flo is visiting til tomorrow. Should I just ride it out for another week or just get the unfill. Just wasn't sure if this was common for others not to be able to drink and not hold it down. Thanks.....

Hi Kelly,

I am so glad you are feeling better. I went for an unfill myself today. I only PB'd twice in a 4 week period, but it was getting hard to get in my water and I couldn't even think of really drinking or eating before 11am.

My band is acting a bit weird... first fill 1.3, second fill 2.0 -- no problems. Then I went to 2.4 had major problems, but only after 3 weeks. Went back to 1.5 and was fine, I would even say too loose for 3 weeks... then extremely tight again. It just seemed to keep getting worse, so now I am back to 1.3. The doctor is ordering an upper GI... so we will see.

I sure hope you are successful with solids and I am glad your band looks healthy.

Take Care,

Sasssy, it's good to see you have listened to your body. As Martha would say,"that's a good thing". I'm proud of you girl!

sassay,

Did your band slip? I saw you were rebanded.

It is strange that you have those symptoms the 2nd time around because my husband has those too. He was banded 2003 rebanded 2004. He had an adjustment it took him a long time to get use to that one, he tried a second one that was just barely more than the first (according to the doctor who said he wanted to go really slow) and he couldn't handle it at all. He had to go back down in his fill to where he was. I wonder if this is a normal problem with rebanding
