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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
