Please can anyone let me know the signs of a band over fill? I had on 48 hours ago and am struggling. I've had 5 fills before but this seems especially tight.

Are you throwing up a lot? Can u swallow your saliva? Not eating enough? If you think your too tight, you probably are. Call the doc for an unfill.

Yep, thrown up about 6 times since yesterday morning. I get a mouthful of phlegmy mucus that I can't seem to swallow (I try to spit it out as much as poss but I'm a teacher so it's not always convenient). Since yesterday morning I've only eaten a cupa Soup and half a small bag of cheesey air type chips (in the Uk we call them Quavers -that melt into nothing) I tried some hot Water last night but threw that up about 2 hours later as it was still there!

Yup, sounds like you have been overfilled. Call you doc for maybe a slight unfill. Thats a really uncomfortable feeling. Dont wait.

I have had too large of a fill for about 4 weeks now. I can't get hardly anything except junk down-which I've been resisting. I've thrown up almost every day since my fill 4/14 and have been waiting for it to go away. Although it has some (was able to eat salad last night) I do NOT want to worry what will or won't go down, it HURTS!!!

I'm getting my unfill today, I wouldn't try to "wait it out" like I did

      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.
