Hi, I have a question that i hope someone can help me with. I got my band 3 months ago and i had my first fill at 3cc's. Last month my second fill was 1cc. About two weeks after my last fill, my stomach area was hurting a lot!!! I thought i needed to go to the ER because it was hurting so much to even stand straight. I called my dr and they asked me to go in. After i went in, they told me that it was too tight and i thought that it couldnt be THAT simple of an answer but i let her take .5 cc's out. After that, i was fine. i have not been hurting since then. My question to you all is, do you think i will be ok for another fill later on? or am i stuck at 3.5cc's forever? Maybe i just need to get smaller fills at a time? Please tell me your thoughts. thank you!

Hi, So for those that had the band too tight and had to let some Fluid out of the band, did you get it put back in later down the line? i am afraid that if i try to fill again, it will hurt like last time. i am hoping that i just got too much at once and i just need to start getting smaller fills. i hope this isnt all i get filled with (3.5 cc's). (my first fill was 3 cc's and then my 2nd fill was 1cc... then had to get .5 taken out because it was hurting too much.) thank you

I was banded may 18th and the port site still hurts and i cant lay flat in my back yet. It feels kinda tight when i do. Is something wrong with me?

so i havent taken the bandages off yet and i was told today that i couldve taken them off a while ago. GRR!! when did you all take yours off?

i never did get any shoulder pain... i got lots of jaw pain, back of neck pain and upper back pain but nothing in my shoulders. what is the shoulder pain attributed to?

the mall... thats a great idea!!

oh no! i love watermelon! did you think they meant that it shouldnt be eaten at all or only during the healing stage?

I wanna blend up some watermelon... yall think its gonna be too much sugar? ALSO I haven't been walking as much as i should... cuz im still sore. Should i suck it up and walk anyways? How are yall handling it all? The port site is what prolly hurts the most still even tho its bearable BUT it kinda hurts to sit straight up. ANYONE ELSE having the problem of sitting up erect as you did before the surgery? (Banded on may 18th) thank you!!
