I had a fairly large fill last Wed. about 2.5 cc via fluro and I was able to sip water just fine. Wed evening I sipped apple juice and had a hard time keeping it down. The following day I was still having trouble and had an episode of vomiting, mind you my stomach was empty. I called the on call doctor and he told me not to eat or drink anything else for the and when I get up in the AM to sip a cup of hot tea and if it goes down then I probably still had swelling from the adjustment. I did just that in the AM and it went down fine. So fast forward today I was still having that stuck feeling after trying to sip water or juice or eat soup, so I decided that tomorrow I would go have fluid removed but after taking a Zantac I was able to eat half a string cheese stick with no problem and drink a glass of tea. Could that feeling of being stuck have come from acid reflux? As anyone had this experience?

Thanks

I just moved to Florida 7 months ago and I'm having trouble finding a Dr. to continue my care. I was banded in NYC in 2011. I know Dr. A will take on other patients because he is listed on the Lap Band website. Can someone give me his contact info?

Back in Oct of 2012, I had to have my band completely emptied because I had air trapped just above my pouch. I had to be on a liquid diet for about 3 weeks. It helped me loose 7 pounds. So, although your band may be empty its better to go have it check and emptied if necessary; hopefully correcting the issue you are having, then to risk having to have the band removed.

I get pain in my left side also and it's happens after I eat. I. Do believe its gas because its goes away after a little while.
