Let me be one of many people to ask...

...am I filled too tight?

Yesterday, I went from a 5.5cc fill to 6.8 (it's a 9cc band). Today, I can drink Water (slowly), but have to be very careful with coffee/milky drinks.< /p>

I appreciate it's maybe too early to tell, but if I can't keep down a slimfast shake, then maybe I'm filled too tightly?

Your thoughts/opinions/abuse are much appreciated.

Thanks!

WOW I only have 1.8cc and just brought my Breakfast back up.

I would call the doctors office today and let them know. Just drink your liquids slow, try hot tea. Hot tea usually loosens things up slightly. Also, it sounds like you need to eat Soup for a day or two unless you want to test it. Today is Tuesday I would not let the weekend go by if it has not loosened before Friday. I would be getting some taken out on Thurs or Fri.

The positive side is you will loose some more weight. Good Luck:D

I agree, it's probably worth giving it another day or two on liquids. Some people react to fills by swelling (others react by opening up), and you really need to give it a week or so to really assess where you are. Just take it really really slow, and be sure to drink plenty of Water. You won't starve, you know that, and perhaps when the swelling goes down you'll be perfect!!

Thank you Therasa and Alexandra for your help.

Its two days after my fill, and I can now easily accomodate larger sips of Fluid, so, the swelling must have gone down.

Looks like I'll have a good level of restriction, after all.

Once again thanks.

i wouldn't go for unfill .. i think arround 6 cc is the "sweet spot" for the 9cc band. you will lose much weight now.. i guess you re glad

with your restriction now! (cause your post is many days old).

i was with 4 cc on 11 cc band from August till .. end of March...

and now on 6 cc i think band works better..your way is only a downhill!
