Question about fills...

[dlynn1635 1]

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!!!

Yeah it's common for you to feel more restriction 1-2 weeks after a fill and also common for you to lose the feeling of a fill 1-2 weeks after a fill...I think it all depends on your body and band.

I would feel the full effects of a fill 1 week after not right away.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Zeniada! You know I have experienced that to some extent just not this drastically... I guess so long as I can get something down then I will try to wait out the two weeks... I am also going to call the Dr office to see what they suggest I do.

The main problem with being this tight is that you tend to mostly drink and I am having to watch my intake and pay closer attention to calories...

I know what you mean I was very tight back in Nov-Dec and couldnt really eat I resorted to slider foods and ended up not losing but gaining because I wasnt able to eat and when I did I'd get stuck and slime, after about a month I got .5cc's removed and felt so much better now I'm to the point where I feel I need a very small fill to get me at my "sweet spot".
