Ok so I need some input here. I had a fill of 2cc on Wednesday. I am so restricted! I have only tried liquids/purees. Clears go down as long as I take small sips. Any thing thicker and I can only have like 3 teaspoons, tried pureed Soup today and I pbd (but may have ate too much- which isn't alot)... I really do not think I will be able to eat anything remotely solid. I am flying on the 28th and am afraid that I will be too tight after flying. Is this how it is when you get restriction? Does it loosen up a little over time? Or do you think I should ask for a small unfill?

Sounds a little too tight to me. Especially if you are flying.

I'm thinking ur a little too tight Monkeymama! I wouldn't take that chance, especially if you're traveling!

You are definitely too tight now, but I'd wait a few days and see if it's just swelling from the fill. I tend to swell for 4-7 days after a fill and I just have to wait it out.

If you are still too tight by Wednesday, I'd have the unfill. Everyone is right. You do not want to travel when you are that tight.

One more thing, some of us are very sensitive to the size of the fill. I could never tolerate a 2 cc fill. Most of mine have been .5 cc.

This is only the 10th. If you're not leaving until the end of the month, you have time to see if this will resolve itself since it may just be temporary swelling...as long as you're able to drink liquids. I would call your doctor and make sure you can get it in for a slight unfill (make the appt now and cancel if you don't need it) should you find this does not get better.

I agree with elfiepoo- make a "just in case" appt. and wait it out for a few days. You may have swelling that will subside. Hope you feel better soon!

      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.
