Good luck flower! I can't say i've had that too tight feeling but i'm glad you went for an unfill. Do you think you didn't lose because you weren't getting enough calories in? I know that is one of the problems i've experienced.

Yes, do not wait.

I put up with a improperly filled band until my doctor told me to come in today for an emergency appointment. When the band is too tight, it is hard to hold things down, and the irritation of coughing up the food causes swelling which makes the band tighter.

I got to the point that I could not even drink Water and I needed a total unfill which was followed by an endoscopy.

Flower, wise thing you did for your health and for the longevity of your band..a too tight of fill can lead to many bad things.

Flower, I'm glad you got it out (the head and the fill)!!!

I've been there also, the things that go down aren't the most nutricious. All the while, you are suffering.

Good call! Shawn

It's a good thing you decided to get an unfill. The damage an overfill can cause to an esophagus might not be temporary. As you discovered, an overfill doesn't allow for the ingestion of solid Proteins and can actually lead to weight gain. I hope you're feeling better.
