  1. The pain is at the band site. It's high stomach, below my sternum dead center. I took pain medicine last night before bed, and woke up with no pain. It'll be liquids only for this girl today! I hope this works.
  2. I went to the dr. to have saline removed today. I can keep down solids now, but i have a sharp pain where my band is located and it gets worse as the day goes on. Should i do more liquids? Should i go back? Advice please.
  3. Thanks. I have an appointment first thing in the morning.
  4. I had my first fill on wednesday of 3cc's. After 24 hrs of liquids, I could still only keep liquids down. I tried mushy foods, and everything came back up. Today I was tired of chicken w/ stars and ate some home made chicken soup that was less finely chopped and I've had a sharp pain in my stomach right at the top of my stomach ever since. It didn't hurt going down, get stuck, or come back up, but I'm miserable. Is this normal? Do I need to go back and have some saline taken out? Help this is discouraging.
