Fill / Unfill Of Less Than .5 Cc's?

[jenn875 4]

I feel like my band is slightly too full. My last fill was .5 cc's. I barely had restriction prior to that fill but now I feel like I may be too tight. I can barely get all my Protein down, let alone any veggies or fruit. I've slow down my eating dramatically and take very small bites. My doctor is going to take a little Fluid out of my band this week.

I'm curious is anyone had a a fill or unfill of less than .5 cc's and if so, did you notice a difference? I feel like I am just the slightest bit too full and am curious if others felt this.

It doesn't take much to push us over the line with a fill, so yes, as little as 0.5cc could have been too much for you. Your plan to have a little removed sounds very sensible!

You know for me, the first two weeks after my most recent fills, it took a second week to feel normal again. I opted for Soups, yogurts, soft mushies even into second week. Which I am in now. Just today I had some deviled ham, slowly. Had hearty lentil Soup from my mom and dad's house...yum! Felt like a great meal going down. So I should be on the road to regular foods.

To add, I asked for 1/4cc more fill. So I think I'm at 5.75

I get 0.2cc fills now, and I do notice a slight difference with each.

I'm so glad that others opt for conservative fills. I have good insurance and that's a blessing. Otherwise I couldn't do this. I definitely can fill this 1/4cc adjustment. Makes a huge difference! I am in green zone!
