How long does it take to settle down?

Heya, I just had another fill yesterday. I'm now at a total of 5.5mls and I'm feeling rather tight. I was able to do the "water test" and drank the little cup of Water with no problems, but have to drink my coffee slowly and I have managed to eat some yoghurt and Soup yesterday but it took over an hour as i could only sip it.

My mum has recently had her band taken out as she was filled up to much and started regularly vomiting which cause her band to become infected, so I really am worried that this could happen to me.

Has anyone else felt tight after having a fill put in but it loosened up after a couple of days???

I'm hoping it's feeling a little tighter this time because he had to jab me twice (first time with a smaller needle) second time with a larger, longer needle because my port has sunk in further and was slightly flipped (which he said wasn't a problem, just means he will use the longer needle from now on).

Any thoughts are welcome!!!! :tongue_smilie: Thanks :smile:

Just thought I'd pop in an say that It didn't settle down. I ended up going back in yesterday morning and he took out .25 mls as I had lost 2kgs in 2 days. All good now, thankgod :thumbup: Things are looking up!:drool:

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I also had to have .25ml taken out a couple of weeks ago and it has made a huge difference.
