So I went to my appointment on tuesday ( I havent been in about 6 months) I didnt think my band was tight and I wanted to talk to my surgeon about how I was feeling. When I would eat after a few bites I would get a "full" feeling but a few seconds later I would feel the food move down and I could continue to eat. He said the band was not tight enough and that I needed a fill. I was at 9.5 and he filled it to 10.5 and oh my goodness do I feel the restriction now! But now im worried it might be a little to tight. I had a few bites of greek yougurt this afternoon less than half a cup and for about three hours I felt pretty awful like it was sitting in my chest or something. Finally It went away some and later in the evening for dinner I had a few bites of really soft eggplant mixed with some spaghetti sauce and now im feeling the same way and even threw up a little I feel like there is an elephant sitting on my chest. Am I eating to much? up until this fill I have pretty much been able to eat whatever I wanted. But combined I dont think I have even had a cup of food today. Am I eating to fast? All I know is im feeling pretty miserable and I dont know if im doing something wrong or its to tight and if its to tight I need to go in tomorrow because he isnt there friday thru monday. Any Ideas????

Sounds like you are a bit too tight. I would go in and have a litle removed, I would think 1/2 of what he put in would make you feel a lot better. If they give you a hard time about a last minute appt. tell them it's an emergency. Hope you feel better soon!

That seems like a pretty aggressive fill! I would definitely try to get in for a slight unfill otherwise it sounds like you'll be feeling awful all weekend which just sounds miserable!

Best of luck,
Lindsey
