Hi all,

I had my third fill on Tuesday 2.25, my band carries upto 11cc, till now its been filled with 6.45cc.
since then I cant eat anything even pudding... it gets stuck... one spoon and i feel i need to throw up? Even Water gets stuck
Can anyone help? is this normal? my friend also a lap-bander said it takes few days then its normal? is this True??
Please help

sorry i can't help you - i had the bypass ... what did your doc tell you about fills? don't worry - one of our lapband folks will be around to help!!!

Sharry, if you can't get anything down today, you need to call your doctor and get a slight unfill. Make sure you do not leave his office until you can get a couple of cups of water down, even if it takes 1/2 hr. Its worth the wait.

Do not wait... you can become dehydrated.

It can take a few days for the swelling to go down but right from get go, you should be able to swallow water.

Thank you both for the reply and advice.

So Leenie, how long before I can eat with out getting food stuck? Now 1/4 cup water and I feel the peeasure, only relax when I throw up?

And 2table spoon of yogurt, before I get the feeling

Sharry, I think you need to call your doctor, sounds like your a tad to tight. Thin liquids should not be a problem going down, if you are having a hard time you need to get a slight unfill.

Please call him/her and let them know whats going on.
