I went in yeterday for my 3rd fill and had 1cc added to 5.8 cc in a 10cc band. I cant even take two tiny sips of Water without burping and feeling very uncomfortible! :scared2:Will this go away or should I have some Fluid removed?

cici as long as you can ingest I say give it a few more days. Just go easy! If you find you are not drinking or eating enough after a few days then definitely yes, go in to see your surgeon and get a little bit removed.

If your fill stops working 100% you can always go back for more. That is the beauty of the band!~

Since you can't really keep down Water, I would go in for an unfill for sure. I know there may be some swelling, but since even water is giving you trouble I would think your too tight. I have had to get an unfill after my last 2 fills. I was very hesitant to do it, but it made all the difference in the world. I had restriction after each unfill.

I was VERY tight on my last fill. I was really worried and thought about going back to have some taken out. I was coughing at night. I figured out u can't eat too close to bedtime. I have loosened up considerably. I think the stomach initially reacts to the fill by swelling. Also I think if you try to force food too soon after a fill you can stay swollen longer. I still have good restriction so I'm glad I didn't get any taken out. I DID initially have trouble with liquids. Now I'm fine. You may wanna try and ride it out for a while. Try to get as much Water in as possible because I think the swelling gets worse with dehydration.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
