Get an unfill sooner rather than later.........I had to get an unfill yesterday I got to where I couldn't keep water down.

I was at 6cc's but now I am down to 4cc's cause I tried to stick it out for three weeks and got alot of swelling. It feels so good when you get some fluid out............

If you can't even get water down, get to your doctors ASAP. Sounds like you need an unfill because it's super tight, and you don't want to get yourself dehydrated or irritate your stomach and lead to slippage and other complications from being too tight.

Yes, call your doc NOW. Don't wait. If you can't swallow water you'll dehydrate quickly and just get tighter and tighter (plus all the other issues of dehydration)

You'll end up in the emergency room. Easier to call your doc now and get it attended to.

Hey Lola........

I was banded on the 13th of April 13, 2009 too!!

Get an unfill. I did and it is better. Being to tight you won't lose weight either.............if you wait to long they might have to take all the fluid out due to swelling.
