Hey guys... quick question. I had my first fill on Monday of this week. I got 5 ccs in my 14cc band. Monday and Tuesday went fine.. great restriction, but I got my period on Wednesday. Now I am SO tight I can't even swallow Water until about 4-5 in the afternoon. If I try, it get's stuck kind of. It just comes right back up. I got really sick on thanksgiving, as my body is not used to not having ANY nutrition or water. Is this normal? I do NOT want an unfill, as I'm sure it will loosen back up after my cycle is over, but what do I do?? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!

Yes, I notice it too, and I've read others that it affects too. I just had 1/2 cc taken out because I was too tight. Eating was great again and 2 days later I got my period and food started sticking again. It did ease up afterwards. You are probably still a little swollen from the fill, so that should ease up soon. And next month may not be as bad since you won't be swollen from the fill, otherwise you may need to think about a small unfill. Not being able to drink water is definately too tight. Hang in there and see how it goes.

I am soooo happy I have read this post. I am in the same situation. I had my fill on Tuesday, 5.5 cc's in a 10 cc band, and Tuesday and Wednesday I was able to keep liquids down. But my cycle came Wednesday night and I have not been able to keep anything down. My Dr. has put me on liquids for the next few days and I don't want an unfill because I need restriction.

It's good to know that all of this may be over in a couple of days..... This is so interesting!

Good luck to you and hopefully things will get better for us!
