Don't worry about it, I did the same thing only I was soooo hungry I ate mayoniasse by the spoonfuls it was awful, you'll be alright once you start getting your fills. Good Luck! Annie May

:smile2: I don't think it is because you are swollen after surgery and the fill would be too much and you need time to heal, I remember trying to stay on as much a soft diet as I could until I got my first fill and thought I was gonna starve, even after my first fill I did not feel much restriction, only after my second fill did I fill anything. I didn't think I was ever going to lose weight but after the second fill it starting coming off, but keep in mind, everyone is different. Anniemay

I have acid reflux, I never had it until I had the surgery. Don't know why .............maybe cause I still have a mild case of sleep apnea. Funny thing after the surgery I also developed Post Dramatic Stress Syndrome. Anniemay

My doctor never took out any fluid she only added to it, if it is too much restriction and you are having problems they will take some out. Anniemay

you lose restriction when you lose weight, so to answer your question, yes, you can, if you have lost weight! Anniemay

Brandy, This doesn't make sense to me, because normally when you have a fill it doesn't go down in amount it's just when you lose weight you need more fill to tighten your band to cause more restriction. Anniemay:cool2:

Well, it's been almost 2 years and I'm still sliming and throwing up certain foods because I can't stand the sensation. I haven't had a fill for a year for fear the sliming will be worse. I am just stuck at my 40 lb. loss and that's it, because I am scared of more throwing up.Not to mention the funny sounds my stomach makes and my throat. I ask about the throwing up thing but so many people lied to me. I can't really say weither I am glad I had it done or not. I wish I had just stayed on the South Beach Diet because I was slowly losing . Oh yeah, I also developed panic attacks after the surgery! Anniemay

I have the exact same problem since my fill a 1 1/2 years ago, my girlfriend does the same thing. I don't do it all the time mainly if I go out in public, since the surgery my nerves are horrible, but I know if I get it unfilled or reversed I will be miserable because of weight gain, so what do you do?!!!!!!!!!! Anniemay

I don't think you can stretch out your band, it can slip and I don't think this is the case, I was losing very, very slowly and then nothing, I simply needed a fill and I didn't start losing alot until my 3rd and final fill. Anniemay

Vikki........my problem is mainly throwing up and not so much gas, but my Dr. told me to take Prilosec, I prefer Pepsid AC, however, are you drinking enough water? Anniemay

enruffol..........I am ok now most of the time, I still can't eat bread unless it is very thin, I have trouble with salad sometimes and spaghetti. When they give me trouble and hurt, I just go throw it up, its my only relief otherwise I would be uncomfortable about an hour. But to lose weight it had to be this way. Anniemay
