I may have made a bad decision

My first fill was on June 28th. I was due for a 2nd fill on Aug 1st, but since my Doctor is 150 miles away and I was in his area, I had a fill today. First fill was 2.6cc and this one is 1cc. I have a 10cc band. I was losing steadily but I was having a lot of times when I could eat anything and any amount. I was falling back into some really bad habits. (raiding the kitchen sound familiar)

Right now, I'm trying to get my supplements down, but having a really hard time. The tiny bit of salad I ate came right back up. I'm working real hard at keeping my pills and Water down. So, did I get a fill too soon?? Maybe its just a matter of letting things settle down?? Any ideas?

the more you bring things up the more you are going to swell. Stop trying for a couple of days and just have lots to drink to give the swelling a chance to go down. Drink lots of liquids of course, Soup, soluble fibre etc.

Hope it gets better soon.

Are you able to keep liquids down? If so then definitely go to just liquids for now. You may just need to give the swelling time to go down. If you are having a problem with liquids then you may need to have some taken out. Some signs that you are to tight would be burping, hiccups and acid reflux.

I have the same problem as you. I am 2 ½ hours away from my doctor. I have always handles my fills well until the last one and I was VERY uncomfortable for 2 days. I had to drive back feeling very weak and sick to have some removed. I immediately felt great. It shocked me, but told me that is was too tight. Believe me I understand not wanting to waste a trip if you just need time to adjust. You should call your doctor and talk with him about it.

Hope you get everything worked out soon.

Most drs have you on liquids for the first 24 hours after a fill. I would go liquid for now, mushies for a day or two, then back to solids.

Thanks for all the great advice. I can get liquids down, so I'll wait it out a few days and see how it goes.
