Restriction 6 weeks after an unfill?

:confused:What is happening? 6 weeks after getting an unfill due to an overfill, I feel great restriction. I like it, but am wondering if this is a symptom of something scary like a slip.

In June I had a fill. There was a lot of stress in my life and after 10 days of coughing acid all night long, I got an unfill. I think I have something like 2.5 cc's in a 10cc band. Well at first I was very careful and I did okay. Then, I started to eat things that I shouldn't and I gained a few pounds. So I did the 5 Day Pouch Test to get myself back on track. I lost a few pounds and had pretty good restriction, but was always hungry an hour and a half later. So I made an appointment to get a little fill. Now, I have this great restriction. I truly don't know what is going on. Do any of you have any idea? Because I sure would like to know what is going on. Thanks.

Check with your surgeon to be sure. DId you get the fill? Sorry but from your post I can't exactly tell. I know you got a fill and then an unfill but the last "slight fill" did it happen?

And are you gettinhg 64 oz of Water each day?

I had a fill on or around June 3 and the unfill was 14 days later. Now, around the last few days of July I am feeling restriction.Nothing bad, no PBing or anything like that, just restriction. It is probably nothing, and I will check with the doc on Monday. And no, I am bad about my water. I am probably only drinking 32 ounces a day.

Ok I ask because my surgeon said effectively that the dryer you are, the tighter your band. I'd try getting 64 oz in today and tomorrow and see if that helps. I've offered this "solution" before and for a good chunk it makes a world of difference. That may not be your issue but it can't hurt to try!

My goodness! You are right! I have heard that before about a dry pouch. I am off to start on the Water. I think you have helped me out before, so thanks again!

I HOPE it does the trick for you. At least it can't hurt! Good luck! :)
