It has been a week since my second fill giving me 7.5 cc. I have had close calls every day with getting stuck or very nearly stuck even while being extremely careful and chewing to liquid. I have also lost about 10 pounds in the last week as well. It takes me about 45 minutes to eat even the smallest portion. It does seem that the restriction opens a bit after I have eaten a couple of bites. I feel that I am getting better at pacing and being careful and did not get stuck at all today whereas I have had at least a small incident of getting stuck each day since last Monday.:smile:

Maybe you should tell your Dr. to take a little out so you don't have to go through the being stuck etc.

I had this!!! I stayed tight like too tight for too long ended up with acid reflux. Now everyone is different. Just watch for signs of fluid coming up when you are prone. I would go to bed and I was up in a few minutes with heart burn and acid sickness. That lasted all night so I could not sleep. That is not good. Getting an adjustment will help, I had two of them to get me where I am today. I am a little loose now and learning how to eat properly. Old habits die hard. Best wishes I love playing with my band. imaluckydog

You are too tight. I had this too and thought I could fix it by adjusting my eating habits, etc. After a couple of weeks of regular vomiting, PBs, etc., I was so irritated that I started getting the heaves while prone. Because I waited so long, they had to take out quite a bit of saline and let me recover. You should go now for a small adjustment instead otherwise, Imaluckydog is right, you might end up with reflux and need a much bigger fix.
