I was banded on 06/29/05 and had my first fill on 8/15. I am usually fine and can eat whatever I want. I have even scheduled an appointment for a second fill because I am still hungry. There are days, like yesterday, that I cannot hold anything down. I am extremely tight and even thin liquids like water come back up. This is happened to me twice, and both on Sundays (not that that really matters)...

IS this normal? I don't think that I am overfilled, I only have 1cc. Does this ever happen to anyone else?

When I recieved my first fill it was 1cc also. I would notice that certain times of the day I was more full. BUT unlike you I was always able to keep water down & soft food.

It sounds to me like you do have restriction, maybe not as much as you want but you do have it. Maybe BEFORE you go for the second fill - you should double check that you are following all the bandster rules about quantity- drinking before & after & calories. Make sure you try & "listen to your band" Try & stop before you get that "full" feeling & see if you can last 2 or 3 hours before you eat again.

I will say that my second fill was .5- & i LOVE iT!! It really "talks" to me & I am very carefull to "listen" to it. I have PBed a couple of times & try like heck to always avoid it. I stop when I start to feel tightness in my chest or have to burp. Or when I do burp I may eat a little more & than I stop for 3 hours or so. I try to get at least 900 to 1000 calories in per day.

I hope you can hear your band better over the next couple of days & if you still go for your second fill try maybe .25 instead of .50 more because you say your already tight. NEVER GET TOO MUCH- It will only cause problems down the road. So really make sure you need it & not that you just need to "Listen" more. Good Luck!
