Am I too tight?



Recommended Posts

I had my 3rd fill on Wednesday (now at 6ml in a 9ml band) and didn't have any problems Thursday and Friday; Saturday eating was uncomfortable but I put it down to trying to eat a cheery Tomato. Yesterday I PBed after eating soft chicken. Today I've struggled to eat anything solid and I've just PBed for the second time in two days and it was only on ground beef!!

Now I'm really sore so I'm going to go on to liquids for a couple of days. So the question is am I too tight or have I just inflamed my stomach around the band. Should I wait and see or go for an unfill?

I would do liquids for a couple of days to see what happens. Ground beef, fruits and veggies with skins, and chicken have all be trouble foods for people. For ground beef, I would be sure to get really lean stuff, because even though it's ground up, the grizzle can cause serious issues.

If after 2 or 3 days of liquids, and then maybe a day of mushies you are still having trouble, I would say you are too tight...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
