I got the flu. Yup, my kids are learning to share, and share they did! Couldnt keep anything down for 12 hours, and now I cannot hardly even keep Water down! My Fill doctor is 1.5 hours away, and I leave tomorrow on a long trip, so seeing him is not an option this week(end). Are there any methods out there that might help soothe the swelling I'm sure I have around my band? Has anyone else had this problem? I have an 8CC band, with 6cc in it. BTW, I'm new here! I was banded on 4/26/10, and have lost 100 pounds and counting!

Shannon I feel your pain! I was overfilled over Thanksgiving, and had to have 1/2 a cc removed. I gained 7 pounds over Christmas! I was terrified! So I started walking just like 20-30 minutes a day, and counting calories on everything I ate, as well as making sure I had at least one salad in place of a meal per day. It wasnt fun at first, but I really did feel better, and I gave myself a break on weekends. It took two weeks, but I lost all the x-mas weight. give it a try! You can do it!
