Hello Everyone!!
I just left the doctor's office and everything is much better. I explained to them how I started having trouble keeping anything down as of Monday 8-27-12. She stated she would need to remove the fluid. As soon as it was removed I felt much better. I am due back in 2 weeks and she said they would fill it again if i needed it. I am having to learn to eat slowly now and that is one of my down falls. I have been a very fast eater for many years. So she said I probably irritated it and it was working to hard to push the food down. I had my surgery on 8-10-12 and I have lost 14 lbs so far :-) Thank everyone for your concern and comments. Have a blessed day!!!

re: " I am having to learn to eat slowly now and that is one of my down falls. I have been a very fast eater for many years."
I too was a Gulper-wash it down with a BIG swig of fluid....a fundamental Error of Eating for sure.
Glad to hear you are doing well now.
Retraining that Gulp method doesn't take as long as I thought it would either.
Learn to nibble-nibble-nibble. My first 6 months it would take about 10 minutes to eat a soda cracker....but the habit of tiny vs Gulp has served me well.
Cheers on your journey.
