A bit too tight and looking to commiserate...

[ashleysara 0]

Uhg!!! I go to school in MA but my surgeon and family are back in CA so I got a .9 fill over break and I'm seriously hurting. I havent thrown up at all so it doesnt seem worth paying for a ER visit in the tiny town I go to school in... I just feel terrible after eating event the tiniest portions of band friendly food :confused: I got the fill about 5 days ago so hopefully it will loosen up but until then or I decide on another course of action I'm switching back over to mushies. LOL if I have to spend the next 6 weeks on mushies I am going to look great over summer jk :redface: How is everyone else?

I was too tight & lived with it for 2 months. I just went & had .4 cc removed. All the negative things I was feeling went away (up all night spitting up, PBing-food, pressure in my chest after eating, not being able to eat or drink in the mornings, coughing all night, acid reflux @ night). The worst thing that happened was I streatched my pouch a little. You can get a slipped band-worst case. Regardless, if your too tight fix it, you can cause ireversable damage...

I will go back next month for her to put another .cc or .2 just cause I can eat more than I could before when I was too tight.

Good luck!

I, too, have lived with a too tight band because I was afraid they would take too much out. Sunday I shut down completely and had to go for an emergency unfill, and you guessed it, they wanted to take it all!!!! I refused so we compromised and I am much too comfortable now!!!! I ate at a buffett last night and got my money's worth!!!! I will have to go back to journaling my cals so I don't gain too much til my next fill.

Best wishes,

Mimi

I am also too tight. I am PBing ALL the time. Here's the thing.....my surgeron just left his practice in Chicago. He referred me to another surgeon in the suburbs which isn't very convenient. I guess the other factor is that because I'm too tight and not able to eat all that much, my weight is really coming off.
