too tight or just right? ...need input!

LessJess · April 22, 2009

I had a fill on Monday 4/20. My 3rd ....2ccs added for a total of 9ccs in my 10cc band....

I can drink tiny sips of liquids, yesterday (the day of the fill) I only had liquids and today I managed a yogurt over the course of several hours.

If my sip of liquid is too big, or if I take more than a few sips in a row I start to slime.

I'm keeping everything down, no PBing, no puking......

I'm hoping its just swollen and will loosen up a bit, but if not, isn't this too tight?

I have to pay a huge co-pay to go have them take out Fluid, so I was planning on waiting it out a few more days to see how it goes.... does that sound wise?

Hey Jess

If you werent being able to keep fluids down I would definately say go straight to a doctor and unfill.

I would think that you should wait a few more days. In the mean time ensure you are constantly sipping Water to stay hydrated. Yogurt is ok, but also consider Meal Replacement shakes to keep up some energy,or puree some Soup and make it as thin as you need to.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far, its fantastic!

I just realized what happens if your to tight for too long. I hve been out of work for two weeks due to lack of energy from not being able to keep food or liquids down. I had blood tests cat scans to find out band was to tight. So go to the Dr. don't be stubbard like me.

Unfortunately I think that you are too tight. I have been there and it isn't fun. It is supposed to take you 1/2 hour to finish your meal. I had to get an unfill after I could only drink fluids...slowly. I also started to become tighter not looser and would get sick from drinking my Water. I held out like this for almost two weeks and then I had 0.5ml removed from my 2ml fill and 8weeks later (since I was able to eat more and my weightloss stalled ) I got 0.5ml put back in and now I seem to be good...for now. These fills are finicky, I know it seem like a waste of money when you get these defills and fills 0.5ml at a time, but for some of us more isn't always better. You will feel soooo much better if you had a defill...trust me. I am not a religious person but you would have thought I heard angels singing after my defill and I could drink my water without throwing up.:tongue: It was wonderfull!!! Oh and as for the sliming I was told that it was your bodies way of trying to push the "stuck" food up or down kinda like a natural lubricant I guess.:rolleyes2:
