I was filled on last Wednesday. I can barely get liquids down before 5:00pm. Should it loosen soon, or should I get an unfill. I really hate to get an unfill because I haven't had much restriction before. I'm just wondering if this is too much.

I was banded last january, and I haven't had much restriction. I went and got a fill on wednesday, and I was excited about my new restriction. I was on liquid and mushy fir two days. I tried to eat a little food yesterday, but it came up. Today I can't get anything down, not even water. it comes right back up. I was hoping it would loosen with time but it seems to be getting worse. should i wait it out, or get an unfill?

Well I'm finally returning. I've been away mainly becasue of my failure. I was banded on january 5, 2007 by Dr.Spivak. I have only lost 30 pounds so far. i haven't had much restriction at all. I was just filled to 2.3 yesterday. This is my 3rd fill. I can barely get drinks down today. is this normal? Will it loosen a little. I tried to drink a slimfast today, and it wouldn't go down. Since I've never had much restriction I really don't want to get an unfill. I'm ready for results. Any advice? Please Help!!:cry

You and I are in the same boat. I was banded By Dr.Spivak on 1-05-2007. I have no restriction at all. I've been thinking of taking phentermine as well. I can't wait to get my first fill. I'm tired of peolple looking at me like my surgery isn't working.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm kinda down today. I was banded 1/5/2007. I have no restriction. My doctor told be to do liquids for 48 hours and then on to soft food. I ate a regular serving of oatmeal today. I feel no restriction when i'm eating. I'm doing well, but it's because i'm choosing to stop, not because of the band. It's kinda discouraging, especialy since I have to wait 6 weeks for a fill. I don't know what I'm going to do untill then.

Hello my name is Sherry. I was banded on 1/5/2007 by Dr. Spivak in houston Texas. I'm so glad that this website is here to help. My current weight is 233. My goal weight is 140. My surgery went well. I woke up from surgery in a lot of pain, but the gave me pain killers that helped a lot. It's getting much easier as the days go by. When should I expect to get my first fill?

I'm doing goog except for the fact that my toddler accidently hit me on my port. it was very painful. My Dr. is Dr. Spivak from houston. I was only on liquids for 24-48 hours, now I'm on soft foods. It's seems that most people have a more strict diet. How much are you able to eat?
