I had my 3rd fill last week. Wow this is tight. I can drink water, tea and protein shakes just fine if I have not eaten. I've been on liquids and soup for 6 days now. An hour or 2 after eating a small amount of soup I'm still feeling stuffed to the extreme, like it is just not going through. Have actually found myself "spitting up" an hour or more after eating soup. It feels like it swells well after eating. So just how tight is too tight and is this really a problem. On a positive note--Great weight loss! Not really complaining but is this normal?

I got a fill, so totally 3.5ccs in a 10cc band. That was 6 days ago. I'm still drinking liquids soups and yogurts, because I got stuck a few days ago and I dont want to do it again. I had some iced tea and I guess I drank it too fast, because it wouldnt go down and I had to spit it up. I wonder if its not really vomiting, since I'm not gagging?? it really is like spitting. I hope in a few days the tightness will go down a little. I dont really want to have any removed because it is a good fill for me, ie I know I will feel restriction once its relaxed a little, and I dont want to go for an unfil just to have to go back a week later. Stick with it for a few more days with me and we'll see!!

Hi, Mark something similar happend to me with my 4rd fill after 2 weeks i couldnt really eat anything besides liquids for almost 4 days then i was able to eat again but with much restriction than before the fill, the "spitting up" happend often and i even had to "throw up" a couple of times only. I got 5.0ccs right now in my band. I've been feeling weak and tired sometimes, I've lost 11lbs in 6 weeks since my last fill. I may gonna stay like this for a while, I dont really know if i should get another fill even 1/4 cc. I missed my last appointment. I felt a lot better since last week but with a good restriction as i told you. Im going to see my doc this friday.

Banded August 17/2009. Good Luck.

I ended up getting 1.0 cc taken out a month ago. Didn't want a full cc taken out but they did to get me back to being able to eat. Flash forward to today, I had gained 6 lbs and yesterday they put 1.1 cc back in. Not feeling the restriction too badly. I'm ony 25 lbs from my goal and want to get this done.
