Question about fills and being too tight

[texassparkles 0]

Okay so i went in almost 2 weeks ago for a fill: thought I was too tight, but it got a little better, but now I PB everything: nothing that isnt liquid will go down without slime: I have tried chewing better, changing foods: nothing is working: so I called my Dr and I cant get in until late tomorrow: my question: can you really be too tight with a fill of 6cc in a 10cc band? Also, I am going to Disneyworld for a week day after tomorrow will the flight affect my fullness and will the unfill be like the fill: take a few days to recover?

TIA!

Yes, it is possible. My band gets tight at certain times of the month, if I go to the gym several days in a row or if I have a cold or allergies. You are obviously too tight so it is good that you are going for an unfill. I usually have to take it easy after an unfill as I am sore and swollen from several days of being too tight. Have fun at Disney!!

They say every body is different when it comes to fills. What is tight for some is not enough for others. Our bodies change with everything we do and can even fluctuate during the month. I was fine for three months without an adjustment, then all of a sudden over Memorial day weekend I got so tight I couldn't eat and could barely drink. I generally get a little tighter and looser during the month around my period but this was definately an 'unfill' situation. My doctor will always take you as a walk-in if you need an unfill so he fixed it immediately. The only thing that had changed in my life was that I had gone on birth control pills approximately 3 weeks before. Maybe my body reacted to that by retaining Water. Anyway, an unfill was nessary, problem solved. Pressurized cabins on aircraft can cause some discomfort so just remember that if you feel uncomfortable just refrain from eating or drinking on the flight if you can and you should stabalize after you land.

Good luck.

The band can be a little high-maintenance but he pay off of weight loss is wonderful. Just keep an eye on your body, your lifestyle, and any changes and you'll be ok.
