I had my 5th fill yesterday. I have 7cc in a 9cc band. Last night I couldn't sleep because it was if I was going to asperate on my own saliva. I kept having a mouth full of it! Will this pass in a couple days or should I have them take some out. Could this be the sweet spot...if I wait it out?

Choking on saliva at night is not a good sign. I'd drink a ton of water to make sure you are not dehydrated, and then if you aren't feeling better by late day, call your doc.

call your dr for an unfill it means your too tight

Have you been having liquids since your fill.My doc says liquids 2 days and mushy 2 days and regular food on day 5. Day 7 is when my restriction kicks in. I hear some say it takes 2 weeks for there's to kick in. Mine eases off in a few days. As long as you adjust your eating habits. Try warm fluid in the morning, small sips. I went through very tight mornings for a couple of months after several different fills. I just had my 6th fill last week and my restriction kicked in yesterday about lunch. I was banded in Jan 08 down 61 lbs. Love my band. Just be careful if it doesn't strectch out during the day, call the doc up. Good luck!

You are too tight. I went thru the same thing a couple of months ago. If you wait too long, it could slip. Good luck!

I think you are too tight but you should talk to Dr. I had this happen 2 weeks ago - was miserable for a week then got 0.2cc removed. I have lost 4 pounds since.

DITTO! :wink2:

I got a fill last night and have an appt in an hour to take a little out...I shouldn't have to worry about choking on spit. I haven't been able to eat since yesterday.

GOOD LUCK! :laugh:

So, as long as I can drink clear liquids in the first couple of days after a fill, I shouldn't be overly concerned? I got a fill on Tuesday and since yesterday afternoon have only been able to drink coffee, tea, water and protein shakes. No PBing or frothing at the mouth.

My doc recommends liquids but not clear after a fill...which I obided by. After not being able sleep and worrying about choking all night, feeling like I was going to throw up...I decided to go for an unfill. It looked like the NP put in 1.5 cc so the doc took out 1. Just had lunch and all feels well. Thanks for all your in put!!

I was able to eat some Progresso Minestrone for lunch! Yay!! AND (drum roll please) I think I may be at the so called "sweet spot" since just 1/4 cup satisfied me!
