Is it normal?

[Amber1989 2]

Hello.

First of all, I'm sorry if I don't write correctly- I'm from Israel so don't speak English fluently..

I had my lap band surgery in July- I have a 14cc band and 3 weeks ago I got another fill that got me to 10.5 cc.

I'm having a bit of problem drinking. It's not impossible but I have to drink very slowly and never while I eat.

I was wondering if this is normal or if it is a bit too tight. I've has very little restriction before the last fill and it took a while for the band to work..

Thank you!

You might be too tight. Call your doctor. Sip, sip, sip but you should be able to get a cup of food down once you do your liquids for a couple of days.

It takes time to find the green zone. You sound like you're in the red zone. A very small unfill should tweak the band just right. We see posts like yours nearly every day so you're in great company.

I agree with the rest of the posters. Sounds like you are too tight and will need a small unfill.

I agree that it sounds like you may be a little too tight. Since it was 3 weeks ago since you got the fill and it is still difficult to drink, I would recommend getting in to your doctor to have a small amount of Fluid removed.

Are you able to eat ok?

good luck to you!

I would agree that a small unfill may be order.
