Second fill - need some advise..please

[4mykidzinVale 0]

I just had my second fill last week and ever since, it feels like I have something stuck at the back of my throat.

I have not eaten a normal meal since my fill. Whenever I try to eat anything other than Protein shakes and liquids, I throw up (Not fun). Anyway, should I get with my doctor to get an unfill or is there something else wrong?:smile2:

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. My doctor is a 4 hour drive away, so I am a bit concerned.

Thanks all!:biggrin:

I'd give your doc's office a call and describe to the nurse or PA or doc what's going on and ask what they think. Sometimes docs want you to wait it out as long as you can keep liquids down, sometimes they want you to come in and get unfilled a bit.

I would go in for a slight unfill .2 or .3 ccs and see how you do.

You sound too tight. Sometimes you can get swelling after the fill but that should go down in a couple days so if it's a week later you might be too tight. some women get tighter around their period, so that could be a factor.

Please don't stay too tight for too long as people on the forum have indicated it can cause a band slip, which could result in the Dr. totally unfilling you.

This is not necessarily true. There are many various 'reactions' to fills. After several myself, I've finally figured out that I get progressively tighter and tighter for about 2 weeks and then stabilize at a comfortable level ...IF I haven't mistreated my band in the meantime. I would suggest that yes, call your doctor, but in the future stay on liquids and mushies for a few days and tread very lightly into the world of solid food. If you experience pain or PB, then back off again to mushies for another day.... if after 2+ weeks you are still having peristent problems you may want to consider an unfill.

That's my $.02!
