Is my band too tight?

[kbotz 0]

I am a mess. hehehe.

I had my band placed Dec 2005 with my first fill March 2006. I never went back to my surgeon, I was not happy with him. I went recently to a new surgeon and received a 2 cc fill. Now, my first fill, I am not sure what he did...I believe .8cc and afterwards I was fine. This fill, I think I am too tight. 5 weeks post fill and I cannot eat more than yougart, ricotta cheese, strained Soups. I cannot eat peas, tuna, eggs or its back up. Because its been so long on this liquid only, I treated myself today to a chocolate shake!!! YIKES!!!!!!!! Cannot do THAT!!!!! But I was having a pitty party!! :hungry:

I hate to get have fliud removed, so I will deal with what I have. I see the surgeon in about 3 weeks. I just want to know what you here think. I saw on another board different opinions that I didn't agree with. From what I am seeing here, I am in agreement with responses I am seeing posted here.

Thank you for your help!! :faint:

It does sound like you are too tight. The idea of the band is that you are able to eat real food, just not much of it. If you are only able to eat mushies, or liquids, then something is wrong. I would definately get a slight un-fill if it were me. And don't beat yourself up about having a pity party and a chocolate shake--we all do that from time to time!
