Question about fills...



Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever experienced getting a fill and being fine for about 4 days and then all of a sudden you are too tight and can't get food or much liquid down?

I had a fill done on Tuesday and I was able to eat and drink fine until late Saturday night. I drank some hot tea before bed around 11pm and it wouldn't go down very well. Spent the rest of the night coughing and then threw up once from coughing so hard. I was able to eat and drink a little on Sunday and now today I am still struggling with drinking!! I have to take small sips kind of like the first day after surgery. I have absolutely no appetite and I am just wondering if I should go in for a slight unfill???

Opinions and suggested WANTED!!!

After seven months of no fills I decided to get one a week before christmas. I was fine from that Weds to Sat., After that I couldn't even get down Water. I spent two nights choking on my own saliva. I was also spitting up mucus and foaming. After 3 days of suffering I went and had the 1/2cc taken out. I still want more restriction but feel really scared to do so. I think I may try again at the end of this month, but I'll only do 1/4cc. I was banded on Jan 29th 2009 to date I have lost 88lbs. Thats counting the 10 that I have gained and lost again. Anyway good luck.

After my first fill (12/13) I forgot about fluids for 48 hours and ate a small meal. I really didn't have a lot of restriction until a few days later, which is when I went to liquids for a day or so. The band loosened-up gradually after that until my second fill, when I HAD to go liquid, since very little else would go down. (So far, 1/2 can of chicken salad is my limit.)

The same thing just happened to me with my third fill. I went in today and had an unfill. Go quickly. I waited 2 weeks and they had to take out 3 cc before anything would pass through the band. Now I'm worried about how I will do with so little in the band.
