i had my 3rd fill and it was totally different too. It was very tight for about 3 days, then got a little better and I am at my "sweet spot" for the moment. Been 2 months and still have good restriction. However, the throwing up part is strange. See how it goes. My bites had to get even smaller than I have been doing in the past, but if i take too big of a bite it gets stuck, no matter how well I chew, so remember little little bites and chew chew chew! It seems like with every fill I have to learn to eat differently all over again. Good luck!

me too!!! had 3rd fill about 2 weeks ago... up until this fill I thought the band was a scam because I was always hungry and really all I couldn't eat was eggs and bread, everything else slid on by... BUT NOT ANYMORE. I noticed a difference that day when drinking a Protein shake and had to take a break between sips unlike before. It's definetly tighter, and when I follow the "rules" I'm pretty sure I'm at a good level of restriction. I haven't had to follow the small bites, chew chew chew, wait between bites, no drinking during meals rules at all since surgery, but now if I forget I'm in major pain. I just hope my brain catches up with my band and I remember everytime I eat!!!

3rd fill has renewed my excitement for the band...

You may have some swelling after your fill which is contributing to the tightness feeling. I would strongly suggest that if this prolongs for more than 24 hours you get back to the doctor and get an unfill. Perhaps this time, you just went beyond that "sweet spot" and need a bit of what was placed in this time removed.

Throwing up is not normal after a fill (I've had 5 fills and 1 partial unfill). Sip on your Water and see how a Protein shake feels. If you can't get that down, go back. If you have acid reflux, go back. Those are signs that you are too tight.

Wow hope your feeling ok!!!!! I think I would have given some more time before having it removed. I felt the same way and I still have a hard time with some foods and eating certain times of the day but the weight is coming off again... Good luck and God is good.

      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
