Hi, I was banded on 2/20/08. I have been lurking on the site since, but would like advice. I had my first fill on Monday morning. My doctor recommends a couple of days of liquids and a couple of days of mushies after a fill. I have done that but have had a very hard time getting even the mushies down. A couple of bites AT MOST! Is this normal? I also have the sliming every time I try to eat anything. Any advice would be great!

Thanks.

I have never been like that after a fill. I would give it a couple days, as long as you can keep some food and fluids down, and see if it relaxes a little. I am sure you could call your Dr as well and see what he says. good luck and keep us posted.

Hi:

My experience has been that if a fill is too much it only gets worse, not better. If you're sliming alot you're going to irritate things and you've only been banded about six weeks. I recommend a call to your doctor to make sure that you're not harming your tummy or your band.

Good luck.

Sure sounds like you need an unfill.

Call your doctor and see what he suggests but it sounds like you may need a small unfill

Thanks for all the advice. I called my doctor on Friday morning and she made me come in right away for an unfill. She took out 1cc and I felt much better. Although I did lose 5lbs in one week, but she said I would probably gain it back since it was water!!!! Ugh...

Thanks for the support.
