Amber1989 2 Posted December 11, 2012 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! 1 smellslikecoffee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyvic 226 Posted December 11, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted December 11, 2012 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. tmf 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted December 11, 2012 I agree with the rest of the posters. Sounds like you are too tight and will need a small unfill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A New New Dawn 1,695 Posted December 11, 2012 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! 1 dee257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
