I had surgery about a year ago and have lost about 60 pounds. I've only had 3 fills and the fills feel so weird and uncomfortable. Firstly, my port moves so I always end up being stuck a couple of times before they find how to get the needle in it. I had my most recent fill two days ago and I'm just uncomfortable. It seems to be hit or miss as to if anything is going down. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep so I took a benedryl with some milk and now I can feel the milk just sitting on top of the band. I know the pill isn't stuck but the milk is just not going down. I long to eat but have learned to hate eating, or rather fear it. Is this normal? Does anyone feel this way. I'm nearing the stage where I want to give up, unfill it and enjoy eating again.

I would contact my doctor.

Were you this unhappy before you fill? I am having trouble with my last fill (hit and miss on what goes down and the pain it causes), but I am opposite you. I am on a power trip. The pain makes me not hungry or want to eat. I know that is horrible, and I will start suffering soon, but I am going for a slight unfil.

You should go back and have them take out a little bit of what they put in. Once you found your sweet spot, things should get better.

Congrats on the 60. Doesn't that make you feel good?
