After my 4th fill I was at 7.1cc and waaay too tight. I threw up everything I ate. They had to take out .5, after they took it out, I felt like I had NO restriction. My dr. said it was due to the swelling as well as having some removed. After three weeks, they added back .25, but I still feel like there is no restriciton. The x-ray showed it easily flowing through. They girl who did the fill said that every three weeks I can come back for just tiny fills, to get it to where I need it. I am so frustrated. I haven't lost in almost a month and I still have very little restriciton. It is so hard since I still have the fat mentality. Humphhhhhh:(

Oh fickled fickled band! Sorry this is happening.

Sorry about your problem. I am too tight but I am not losing because I eat crappy foods.

Hi,I totally know the feeling!! My surgery was in Jan. 08,,I have lost only 43 lbs. I have only had 2 fills and this last one has put me over the edge,,ALL I DO IS THROW UP!! Its really horrible! I have went back to have them check it but they said everything was fine,,,( obviously they know nothing) Its been since June 10th,,I'm at 4 cc's. I feel like I have dumping syndrome ,,which they say you dont get from the band,,With the last fill they put in 3 cc's that did nothing,,and this last one i feel like i cant eat absoultely NOTHING!!

It's crazy, I truly have less restriction than I did after my third fill and technically, I have more fluid in there. Funny, I have put on about 2.5 lbs in the last three weeks b/c of the lesser restrictions and I feel like I have put it all back on. I'm beating myself up, but sadly, it doesn't stop me from eating. Tomorrow is a new day. My hubby bought me the Wii today and then went to 5 different stores looking for the Fit software, bless his heart. Maybe if I can increase the exercise, I'll get over this hump.
