Help!

I had my 3rd fill on Friday. I was doing fine or so I thought but I've gotten stuck every time pretty much since then. Even fluids. I haven't thrown up just the slimming and spitting up. Anything i can do at home to help ease it down? Or do you think I'm over filled?

It sounds like u are a tiny bit overfilled, if u cannot drink Water or warm tea etc without sliming then u are over filled and need to get a small amount taken out, i suggest u go back to your lapband doctor asap and get a small unfill, it doesnt have to be all of the fill u had but u will become dehydrated otherwise .

Did u eat after your fill or go on liquids for a day or 2 ? u might have made yourself swollen by sticking on food, but when u cant keep water down u have to do something so looks like its a trip back to the docs

I went on liquids for 2 days. I figured, called them and they want me there asap. I'm. Just irritated since it is an hour away and i was just on that area today. Ugh.

I thought I was overfilled after my last fill. It took me about two weeks to learn how to eat with PB'ing. I even have to take smaller sips of Water now, but I don't have any problems keeping things down now. If you can take smaller sips and smaller bites chewing really, really well, and keep that down, you're probably okay.

I wouldn't go right straight back to the doctor unless I couldn't keep liquids down even with small sips.

I went back. I couldn't do sips of liquids w/o spitting it up. She took it all out to let what was stuck pass and then added back 6.2 out of the 6.6 i had in. I was then able to swallow water. Good thing is, i now am in the green zone. Yay!

Did you stay on full liquids for three days, atleast that's what my surgeon advises. That first week is almost like having surgery again. Soft foods, Protein Drinks, go easy for a bit.

Mine says liquids for 2 days, mushy foods for one then normal. The problem was I couldn't swallow liquids.

If you can't keep liquids down that means you are too tight. I haven't had this experience yet and I've been banded since 2010, December.
