yoyodieter Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi last wednesday I went for my second fill, they gave me 1 cc on top of my 1.4 cc, I drank water and it seemed fine, after I got home (2 1/2 hrs. later) I tried to drink a slim fast and it got stuck, it gurggled and hurt like hell. the next morning my coffee got stuck, but eventually went down. I couldn't eat anything solid without it getting stuck. Last night a tiny piece of chicken, smaller than a pencil eraser caused me 2 hours of walking in pain slimming and pb'ing along the way. (thank god it was dark) So today I made an emergency visit with Kitty at the Arlington Washington location (5 hrs. round trip) and she took out .6 cc. I now have to be on liquids for 3 days because I have irratated the band. I would never wish this kind of pain or aggravation on anyone, so please remember that larger fills may not always be best. I now have a total of 1.8 cc and that might still be to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenlynn79 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hey Linda, I am glad you got unfilled. I have been there too and it was not fun at all. You are right, sometimes slower and smaller is better even though it's frusterating! I hope you still have some decent restriction after you can eat again!

mlgpdx Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 My 3rd fill was a large fill and ended up being to much... 3 days later I had to go get an unfill... went from 3.1cc to 2.9cc's.. those 3 days were HELL! ugh.. I now exactly what you mean. Bigger is NOT always better... well unless of course we're talking about a hot man but that's a different forum. xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyodieter Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks, once again it's nice to know I'm not alone. It seems most the time everyone talks about no restriction, but i tell you what, I will take no restriction over what I experianced this last week!! I know there must be a happy medium, and i will find it .2cc at a time :lb12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Sorry about your troubles Linda, I am right now trying to decide if I need a tiny unfill or not! I went from 2.35 to 2.6 (that's only .25cc or 1/4 of a full cc) and it might have been too much... I can eat solids, a few times I've been able to eat the same amount as before the fill but other times I slime/PB on liquids (anything really thinck like the protein bullets or anything really cold like ice water) I am going to give it a week and see what happens...I have lost 2lbs since the fill so that's good and I figure that I can keep down solids and get all my water in (it's just not as chilled) and if I got an unfill and it was too much I would have to pay for another fill anyways! Glad you are feeling better, and P.S. you are looking super hot girlie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julieburns Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I hope you feel better soon. I am going for my second fill 9/26 and will heed your advice. Sorry you have had such a rough week. :lb18: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1BandedBabe Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ouch Linda! I hope that things are better for you today since you got an unfill.. I bet that is a miserable feeling. Glad you got an unfill instead of just toughing it out. Hope your restriction is still good after the swelling goes down as well... Take care honey!

yoyodieter Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thank you everyone for your concern. I am feeling much better and am able to eat again. I have noticed that more and more of us are getting over filled and risking slippage, My fill nurse told me if I hadn't come in when I did, I too could of slipped. I also realized by being to tight I could only eat or drink certain things that ended up being higher in calories than my lean cusines, and ended up gaining 2 pound with that fill. I am back on track doing what was working for me before and I am certain I will start losing the weight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
