I have been smooth sailing with me fills lap band all that jazz. I got a fill on Friday Nightmare couldn't eat or drink the whole weekend. Throwing up I ate peppermints & juice this weekend. On Friday I weighted in at 216 went back on Monday I weighted in at 206 good but not healthy. I got unfilled not even 1 cc I asked for one 1cc my doctor say no it will be ok when he take this little out. He couldn't have been more wrong I need more out Im still not able to eat a meal not even a small one. I hate to call them again but can't hold anything down this will be my third time there in 7 day but I don't want to keep throwing up. Maybe Ill wait a couple of day to see if it gets better Please weight in no pun intended.

call them.. it's your body and your health... if you cannot eat it's unhealthy to continue.. You deserve to get the follow up care and I am sure either you or your insurer paid for it...

Does your Dr. put you on any kind of strict diet ater fills liquids for one- two days before solids??

[Kitt3000 757]

If it is not right, of course you should call them and get this situation corrected. Take a deep breath, stop thinking about being a bother BECAUSE YOU ARE IMPORTANT.

Now. Go pick up the phone! You will feel better soon! Listen to your doc regarding your diet after the adjustment. Good luck sweetie!

I would call for a possible unfill!

[adugan 53]

Yes liquids soft foods & I'm very uncomfortable

[SeaSounders♥ 225]

I would call I have had to have two unfills myself my Dr says some banders are just more sensitive than others. I hope you feel better and once your able to hold down liquids make sure you hydrate! Best Wishes!

Thank you I can do liquids after yesterday food is my issues So how long was the time in between the two unfills for you if you don't mine me asking

[SeaSounders♥ 225]

The first time I waited 5 days way to long and had lost 17 lbs I was so dehydrated and the second I went back after the two liquid days on day 3 because I couldn't even tolerate the liquids.

If you're vomiting you need to give your stomach a rest. My drs rules have always been 3 days of pure liquids after a fill, 3 days of mushy foods and then back to solids. And anytime vomiting occurs 3 days of liquids. The issue is that vomiting irritates your pouch and inflames tissue-makes you swell. So then everything will be tighter.

My band has always been tighter in the morning- which means no solids before noon for me. It's how my body is.

Vomiting can lead to a slip- I had a minor slip at one point after I had the flu (probably the only time I've really vomited with the band- that wasn't a PB)

And at 2 days after a fill I'd still be on liquids, not small meals.

THe company that banded me (now) only gives 0.5 cc's fills. If you need an defill, they typically take out 0.25 cc's at a time. You should feel an immediate difference. If you had some taken out and didn't feel the difference right away, you probably need more taken out. I would go back again...

Some people are just sensitive and have a lot of swelling after a fill. If you feel uncomfortable then by all means get an unfill. I can go as long as three weeks after a fill and still be swollen. My doctor said some people just have a sensitive stomach. If you cant keep things down they call and get in there.

It's not about gratitude. You are paying for your doctor's services, they're not being done out of the goodness of his heart. Going in for help when you need it has nothing to do with being ungrateful and everything to do with being smart and taking care of your self.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be getting another small unfill immediately. It doesn't matter if you have to go in there every day for a week to get to a point you're not too tight. You have to do what's best for you.

Best wishes.

You are definitely too tight if you can't even swallow Water. But you might be swollen, as my surgeon recommends 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids after fills and unfills. But 10 pounds in a weekend is scarey! By the way, if I had a fill on Friday, I would not have been allowed to eat all weekend!

I'm also sensitive and needed more time between adjustments and stayed on full liquids. Stressing about it can cause some lingering symptoms also. Yes, you should see your doctor, but also try to relax a bit and give your body time to adjust. You do need to be able to get liquids in though, definitely!
