I just had a fill yesterday.. i am now 5.9 i was 5.7 and i work out pretty intensely...this morning i tried to drink some cran grape juice and it gave me heartburn, i drank some warm coffe and could tolerate it tried a bite of yogurt and held it down. i have no appetite i drank a protein drink for dinner last night... should i wait on having fluid removed...am i too tight.. i have not even tried solid food yet but i have heard so many horror stories of if band too tight can cause slippage and such. Please all opinions are welcome... and look forward to watching everyones journeys and learning as i am on mine too.:thumbup:

It is really hard to tell. My doctor puts me on a strict plan after each fill...clear liquids for 2 days, protein shakes for 2 days, pureed foods for 2 days, soft protein foods for 2 days and then solids. He feels that when you get a fill that you swell and you need to give your band time to heal each and every time. Not each doctor feels this way. If I was not able to get the clear liquids down then I would say I was too tight..which one time I was and yes you are right that being too tight does not do you any good. I hope this helps. Take care!

I never thought of heartburn as a "too tight" indicator. I'm interested in the responses from others with experience in this.
