I went for my questioned fill and got a good one. It has only been 4 days and I think I am to tight. Everything is getting stuck, eggs, yogurt, fish, Beans, Water. I have been I slim and pb almost everytime I eat. It hurts and pbing is a pain. On the bright side the weight is coming off but I am so not getting in the Protein or water I need to be consuming. At first I thought maybe I needed to chew better but if water is getting stuck... How long should I wait to be certain I need an unfill?

The longer you wait and the more irritated your stomach becomes from pbing the more they will have to remove to help you. I would go in immediately. I have had as little as .1 of a cc removed and felt better immediately. They don't have to take out the whole fill to help you. Good luck.

You're definitely too tight. I would get some removed. The band isn't supposed to make it hard to eat.

Strange follow up question.... are you on your time of month? I got a fill a week ago yesterday and i can do Water or liquid fine, but food is a problem. If i take 30 minutes or more to eat, i can get maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food down but it's challenging. However, its that time of month for me and i'm waiting to see if it gets better... I've heard you can be tighter during your cycle.. Right now, eating is just plain no fun..

Try staying on fluids for a day to let things calm down. I am always super tight after a fill but it gets better over time. I wait about a week to see how things go.... But I also haven't had trouble with Water unless I gulp it....

You need to wait at least 6 hours after you lose a meal to eat anything else. Even liquids will be hard during this time. I was too tight for 5 months, but I was losing weight so I lived with it. Eventually I stopped losing and had to go get a tiny unfill. He took out .1cc and it made all the difference. I am kicking myself now for not dealing with it sooner. Oh well that is what life is all about huh? Hugs

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
