First time with a troublesome fill



Recommended Posts

So today I went for my third fill and had 2cc put in bringing me to a total of 6cc. But immediately had to go to the restroom a throw up my Water. It was pretty intense discomfort and i was a little concerned that it was a bit much this time so my surgeon took. .4cc back out and now I can drink without pain/puking. Anyone else had something like this. Did I do the right thing taking a little back out? I got my band back in early June and have not felt restricted enough yet so I hope I did the right thing. ????

taking some out was absolutely the right thing to do. Throwing Water up as soon as you're filled means it was too tight.

It doesn't mean you can't have some put back in if you need it later on. But slowly. I get 0.1cc fills at a time now so as to ensure I don't go over.

Can you feel a difference when you get fills that small?

Absolutely, even .5 fill you can feel the difference. I had to have .1 taken out and it made a big differnce in my comfort and what I could eat.

This last 0.1cc fill has certainly made a difference, yes. You don't need big fills to get to green zone, you just need the right level of fill. Doing small fills gives you a better chance of finding it instead of going past it.

When they added by banded to 4cc. I felt like I was gonna die. Everything got stuck, Peanut Butter, tuna, jello....... When they took out the 1cc I literally felt the stuck food from the morning pass... I'm willing to do some exercising to never feel like that again
