  1. Hi everyone! I was banded March 8th: _ 1st fill March 29th as I had no restriction - 2nd fill was April 24th I have had very modest weight loss, about 9lbs 2 lbs of which I regained last week before the 2nd fill. I have had a problem with vomiting often but inconsistently on different foods, ie. some days I am ok to eat salads with chicken and some days I am not. I am a little discouraged as I keep hearing there is a sweet spot but I am not finding it. I find it difficult to eat as I throw up and also don't feel full with little amounts when I can eat. I almost have my regular appetite. I was also told to take an antireflux medicine daily. Has anyone found this helps with getting food stuck/vomiting and pressure below the breastbone? I could use anyone's advice right about now. Savannah

    Need some advice

    Thank you so much!!!! All of your advice makes sense!! Perhaps I don't know when it is the right time to be tightened. I had food getting stuck before I was filled the 2nd time with meats especially chicken but I thought it was because I didn't chew enough or perhaps ate too fast. I wanted to feel filled because I wasn't losing weight and my appetite was large still. Now I can sometimes eat but most of the time I am sooo careful because of the fear of vomiting. I will go back on liquids tonight and tomorrow. I didn't know that I could be tighter earlier in the day but that makes sense. Most of my vomiting is earlier on. One question, when you are being filled or unfilled do you just keep paying the fill fee? How expensive!! Perhaps this is the reason some of us might think of waiting it out instead of getting unfilled. Again thank you so much!!
