Am I overfilled?

[kh1967 0]

I had surgery in November. Just went for my 4th fill last friday. On Friday night, I could not even get Water down. I called the Dr. and he wanted to touch base with me in the morning to see how I was on Saturday. When I spoke to him on Saturday, I was able to drink water and Protein Shakes and Soup. But, ever since then, I have not been able to eat anything that has any texture to it. I have been able to drink water and Protein shakes, but anything else gets stuck. Am I overfilled? To date, I have 6cc's. At 5cc's I could eat comfortably without any pain. I am afraid that if I do not get a small unfill, that I could do damage to my stomache where the band is by forcing food through the inlflated band. Any ideas? PS I have lost 47 lbs to date, so

I know the band is working.

Any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't eat, you are too full. I'd get a slight unfill.

Ditto, I agree....you need a sm amt out. I had .8 of a cc out today and I am happy! much more comfortable, my Soup went down good, fullness is there. Pain is gone!!

I would say call the doc, get alittle out, make yourself a bit more comfort, and like you say....secure that you will not do damage to yourself.

Good luck, hope to hear you are doing better

Get an unfill!! I made myself suffer for 2 months and never thought I would do that. I thought it would get better. I went in two days ago, had .4cc taken out and what a difference it is! I was at a stand still on losing weight for the last 3 weeks, and in 2 days, b/c I am eating again, I've lost 3 lbs! You should never be miserable during this journey!!
