Got my 4th fill today lots of burping and oddness...

[spoiltmom 44]

I got my 4th fill today which brought me to 6 cc's in a 10 cc band. My surgeon said most people hit their sweet spot between 5 and 6. I drank Water and it went down fine.

I'm on liquids now. I'm burping like mad and I sometimes feel like I have air trapped. Like I need to burp and can't. I'm not using straws or drinking anything carbonated. Is this normal or is my band maybe too tight?

Earlier I was drinking some Water. It went down fine but a few minutes later I got this overwhelming urge to throw up. My mouth started watering like mad and I fought the urge to throw up for almost 5 minutes until it passed.

Is this normal? I go back on foods Thursday.

You sound very close to maximum restriction. Yeah I definitely got the feelings you described as I got close to my sweet spot. But remember the fill would have you extra tight right now, so stay on liquids (go SLOW with them) and take it easy when you got back onto solid foods. Make sure you chew well and eat slowly.

Try not to PB, coz that causes even more swelling and can take you to the point of feeling way too tight and/or needing some fill out. Hopefully in a week or so things settle and you can 'test' your restriction levels to see if you're too tight, too loose or just right.
