Fill today

I am going for a fill today. I am so worried after all the trouble I had with the last fill. I am so frustrated. I have lost and gained the same 5 pounds since November. I feel like a failure and almost don't want to go today. I know I have to go and get a fill but I am so afraid that I will have a bad experience again. Please say a little prayer for me.  I know I have to go and continue to use my tool.

Thanks for listening.

Sorry, that is what I get for not reading ...
You will be fine I am sure. My first fill left me trembling..second and third ones were fine.
See if someone else in Dr office can do it..sometimes it is the person not your band.

The last time I had a fill at the beginning of Nov. I ended up so tight that I had chest pains.  I went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. My fill had been 9 days before the chest pains. The day after ER visit I had 1/2 the new fill taken out and had lost  pounds in 10 days. I continued to have pain when I ate anything for the next 6 weeks and vomited several times but I couldn't eat more then a bite or two without pain. Then Christmas eve morning I vomited really bad and from that point I started to feel better. So I saw my Doc a few days after that and he said since the pain had stopped and I wasn't throwing up that I would spend the next 6 weeks where I was. He said I had been to tight and I must have had a lot of swelling and irritation so I would get stuck throw up  get swollen again and the process just kept repeating. So When I left his office I did 2 days of liquids, 2 of mushies, 2 of soft to make sure I was better.  I have been good this past 6 weeks but did get stuck once my fault, I ate to fast. So today I did get a fill. I am going to do 3-4 days of liquids, 2-3 days of mushies, and 2-3 days of soft foods to make sure the swelling goes down before I start eating real food again. I am so scared. I pray all is well.
Thanks for listening. Any advice? Any one have so much selling after a fill or is that just because I was to tight?

I am so sorry to hear about your problems.  What size band do you have?  How mch do you have in there now?  How much is he/she putting in and in what increments.  All my fills have been, after the first2, very small, .5cc, .6cc etc.
