I had my 4th fill, I have had a .06, .05.05. .04cc fill yesterday. I have the worst case of heart burn, I can eat warm Soup but lost a glass of Water today.

am I too tight? its been 5 months since my last fill, and can't remember if it was this bad. any ideas?

I would give it a couple days to see if the problem is due to swelling. I know that for the last couple fills it took around 4-5 days for swelling to go down. I always get a little "acidy" just after a fill. If you are unable to get Water or food down then definitely go back right away and if you don't feel better in a few more days then a slight unfill may be needed.

I have had that problem as well and it seems to subside after a few days. I have had to go back in and have some Fluid taken out because it didn't resolve. Hopefully it is due to swelling.

I also had the same problem I waited two weeks still could not keep any food down ended up having to take out a lot of Fluid, but on the bright side I lost 20 lbs in two weeks and only gained back five after the unfill. Exercise is keeping it off. I go back May first for a refill:-)

I just recently had my fourth fill and it was definitely different from any other fill I had ever had. I thought I was going to have to request an unfill, but after a week or so...it subsided and wasn't as tight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
