Just curious, what kind of pain were you in. I had a fill 10 days ago and I am getting pain in between my shoulder blades. I finally called the doctor, and they said it was trapped air and that it should be subsiding soon. I can tell you though, it is indeed pain and I don't like it. So, I guess I'm kind of where you are. I'm thinking about getting a slight unfill and just having to use a little more willpower. I am going to wait until at least Wed 1/23/08 because that will be two weeks since the fill. I hope you hang in there and we'll both have to be asking ourselves which of the two circumstances we are willing to live with.

You don't have to have fills in .25cc increments. My doc will do them in .1cc increments. When you get as full as you are, that makes a huge difference. Discuss this option with them. You should not be feeling so hungry...I'd go back and discuss it with the doc.

I agree. I was too tight at 3.0. Now I am at 2.6... haven't got onto solid foods yet so I'm not sure what my restriction is. (I was full today after eating about 1 cup of refried beans.) But I do agree with rharriet62. If you are on solids and feel like you are eating too much and you are hungry, etc., you can get a fill of .05 if you want!

How long has it been since your last fill? I'd wait about 4 weeks after a fill to decide if it's not tight enough.

Hello, This Is My First Time On Here....i Had My Surgery July 27th. I Have Lost 32 Lbs. I Am Getting My 3rd Fill Monday. I Am Hungry Most Of The Time, But My Restriction Is There. I Do Eel Like I Have Done Most Of This Myself, With Exercising And Cutting Back On food. Does Anyone Else Feel This Way Too?
