Feeling fustrated...

[turtle11 16]

I thought I was in the green zone and I didn't get a fill for 3 months. I'm 15 months banded. Then I found that I could eat a little more and was getting hungry in between meals. So I went in May on my 1 yr. and had a a little fill. I was feeling fine a lil tight but not to bad. Now the past 3 weeks I can hardly eat. I don't ever vomit but I do that slimming thing (nasty) and I hurt. I can hardly get my Protein in but I weighed today and I have gained 3 lbs. I'm scared to get any taken out but I can't stand not eating or hardly being able to drink my Protein Shakes. I usually can't eat or drink anything before 2 pm except Water. I need advice...

Talk to your doc but it sounds like you're a little tight.

It's sounds like you need a tiny defill... maybe .25 cc. I have a friend my lapband coffee group who had a similar situation and she had a tiny defill.. made a big difference and she is back on track and is now losing and able to eat with no issues.

Thanks guys...that's what I was thinking. I'm calling the doc in the morning.

My body is hyper sensitive to fills. I cannot get anything more than .25 at a time or I will be so tight that I can't even get saliva down. Go to the doc and have your fill taken out then go gradual from there on out. Good luck!

Thursday I had .25 put in my band. All weekend I have not been able to keep anything down. I called the doc this morning but they are closed. I am trying to drink my Protein Shake but its going down so slow.
