Staciw123, they do x-ray with barium, they make you drink and watch it go down. And they also take a still x-ray.

Hi all, I was banded 1/6/2011 I am down 25 pounds I just had my 2 nd. Fill today, I am also going April 1st for an X-ray to make sure all is well because I had the stomach virus 2x so they want to make sure the vomiting did not cause a slip!! 1 to 2 pounds weight loss a week they told me is good after your first fill hopefully I'll be in the 2 pound this time last fill I was 1 pound a week on the nose. Did anyone have a slip I am a bit worried. I'll keep you updated!!

Hello wonder, I was wondering that myself and did not get many replies on it, I will tell you I had my surgery 1/6/2011 and just today it started to go down. I was huge especially after I ate or drank anything,it's been 3 weeks for me so hang in there and walking helped I started yesterday on my treadmill but I was walking before that and walking and drinking tons of water and gasx after I eat helps also :-) hope that helps!!!

I was banded 1/6/2011, my gas pains are gone but can anyone tell me when the stomach swelling goes down? It seems when I eat or drink it swells even more. It is so uncomfortable.

My pain got better each day, I did take the pain meds. for 3 days,that helped.I do notice even today after I eat or drink I swell up and my belly button incision hurts a little. I just hope this swollen goes down.

I have the belly button and 3 very small scars , I was banded 1/6/2011 but I am still very swollen I thought by now it would go down can anyone tell me when it starts to go down?

Yes eating very little and slow I am 2 weeks post op today!!!I thought the swollen would be gone by now.

Hello, I was banded on 1/6/11 and my swollen stomach is still there it went down allittle but now when I " eat" my stomach gets huge I tried gas x etc...Has this happen to anyone else? And does it go down? I called my dr. Office they said give it a week and call back as long as I am not in pain but I told them only where my port is it's sore. They said that's normal. But I just am worried that when I start eating normal next week about the swollen stomach it's very uncomfortable. And I lost around 18/20 pounds and you can't even tell I look pregnant. Well please post if this happen to you!! Thank you.

Thank you al!!!

Hello all, I was banded 1/6/11 I am going for my first fill feb. 18 th. I heard some drs. Use x-rays with fills I don't know if mine does or not I would assume X-ray is better? Can you tell me what getting a fill feels like. And how long in between do you wait .

I was banded 1/6/11 I lost 18 pounds so far but my stomach is huge, still swollen pretty bad, can someone please tell me when it goes away!! I am already 11days post op. I thought it would go down by now it went a little but not much. Please any advice will help

Pain in your shoulders probably the gas they use it moves around, all drs. Different are you allowed to eat soft foods yet? I have to do 2weeks liquids. It's probably the bread " stuck " your stomach. Is swollen needs time to heal b4 you can eat, Try sipping pineapple juice that can sometimes help with " stuck" foods. Well good luck hope you feel better!!! ,

Maybe you should have had more facts before you did the surgery, your lucky you did not vomit the vomiting in early stages after surgery is what can cause slippage.If your that freaked call your drs. Office and explain your concerns and be honest with them on what you ate. I am sure your fine just get back on your drs. food plan.
