Hope I am not overfilled...

Oh gosh this all sounds so scary. I go in next week for another fill I am t 7 now, and I know when you get up in those numbers you get close to restriction. I'm glad you got it fixed and worked out.

I have no restriction and feel like I could eat a horse, so I want to get filled well so I don't eat too much and mess up all my weight loss. but I really don't want to have to get too full that I am in pain.

I bet if you go for somewhere between 7.25 and 7.5, you will be fine. When I was having my episode, I did a lot of reading on the 'Fills' section of these boards (I searched on 'too tight') and it seems like once you get past 6, you maybe shouldn't get full 1cc fills. Honestly, I was surprised the PA gave me 1cc to start with. I was expecting 0.5 and then for her to have me sip Water and go up from there. I guess she did the whole cc to start with because I tolerated 1.25cc so well the last time.

Anyway, don't be afraid to get your fill. It is so dependent on so many different things and if you have little restriction right now, you do need it. When I went back for the unfill, the PA also told me that almost every lapband patient will end up getting too tight at least once and come back for an unfill. She said it is part of the process and don't feel bad. We are all trying to get to that perfect spot, but it keeps changing as we lose weight. The good thing is that they didn't charge me for the unfill. I'm not sure of exactly what my office's policy is, but I think if you come back within a certain amount of time because you are too tight, they don't charge you... maybe it is three days (I can't remember). But, for anyone reading this, it might be worth asking your office since that also might play into your decision of whether to wait it out or go for another adjustment.
