4 years later- Only second fill- Struggling!

[bjcj1001 0]

I just had my second fill after being banded 4 years. In the past year I've put back on about 30 pounds. I went and had the same fill amount put in that I did 4 years ago. It worked great the first time around, yet now I'm 5 days out & am struggling to get Water down. I've heard you can get tighter after a few days, but this is ridiculous. Should I have some taken out or am I just not used to this 'tight' feeling?

If you can't get Water down you need to get some removed ASAP. That's dangerous and puts you at risk for dehydration.

I agree, try a little less fill! Best wishes. Karen

I just had my second fill after being banded 4 years. In the past year I've put back on about 30 pounds I'd be curious as to how many CC's were put in the band 4 years ago?Most don't get that profound of restriction after 1 fill. I went and had the same fill amount put in that I did 4 years and It worked great the first time around, Over filling the Band too quickly can cause Pouch enlargement, esophageal problems as well.

yet now I'm 5 days out & am struggling to get Water down. I've heard you can get tighter after a few days personally after fills I felt restriction the day after and then with each passing day it gradually dissipated to the point of going for another fill a month later.but this is ridiculous. Should I have some taken out or am I just not used to this 'tight' feeling NOPE, being tight is never a good thing like previously posted Dehydration isn't good, nor does it help if your not eating for days due to being too tight.~ please keep us posted~~ Call your M.D.

I just thought that you should know that I went for my first fill yesterday and he put in 3 cc and I couldn't get Water down. So he took 1cc back out. I must be one of those who has profound restriction after one fill.
