Thank you for the input. I am new at this and being filled now reality is really settling in. So I will be carefully and sipping on liquids for a day or so.

Oh I feel a little better hearing that. I will definitely let my Dr know this next week and see what he says. I thought I had heard flying can make things weird before.

Can you explain what you feel when you are kinda stuck?? i have had 2 feels and go for a third next week but just the past few days i have been feeling uncomfortable almost every meal. my chest gets tight and it hurts. Almost feels like contractions because it goes away for a few seconds and comes back. I've slimed a few times and food came back up once. Now I'm feeling sore. Anyway this just started happening all if the sudden. I might be eating too fast but am alarmed because this all came suddenly. Hoping I haven't had a band slip or something bad. Maybe I'm paranoid... my last fill was a month ago wondering if it just took a few weeks to kick in. Ugh Idk. But can't call Dr until Monday so wanted some opinions

Thank you... I do forget sometimes, especially if I'm really hungry. After the episode this morning I'm feeling sore so I guess I'll be on liquids for the rest of today. That ugly feeling in my chest was not fun!

Hi I got my band on Oct. 10Th and have had two fills.. it's been right at a month since my second fill. I am scheduled for 3rd fill this next week. Anyway I am just now feeling like I have a band and I'm having a bit of a hard time eating just the last 3 or 4 days all of the sudden. I m wondering if I'm just now noticing the 2nd fill. Would it take weeks to notice the difference? I'm hoping nothing is wrong. I was away on business for a cpl weeks wonder if stress and flying would make band feel tighter or what? Today was the first time I kind of threw up my food. It was eggs. Maybe Im eating too fast? I have a few more days til I go to Dr so wanted some input or opinions please..

OK GOOD!! thank you for your input. Congrats on your cosmetic surgery i bet you look like a million more bucks when you fully recover! That is very exciting!! post some pix when it starts looking better!

thank you those are good suggestions. i think being on fuller liquids and some yogurt and pudding has helped already!! I love Thai food so might have to try those!

Hi i was banded a week ago and have felt pretty good just sore. So yesterday i lifted a bag of groceries that might have been too heavy. afterward i did not feel very good a little pain. now i feel just a different kind of sore in different spots that i had been feeling before. So my question is ... if i messed something up in there with the band would i for sure know it and be feeling alot of pain? Am i paranoid? i know the best thing to do is call dr but like i said its not really painful just a different sore feeling. And i know most veteran banders are pretty helpful and encouraging so just wanted to see what yall had to say about it before i start calling and making a big fuss.

i was banded a week ago. most of my gas has gone away, at least the hard/bad stuff. But yes i am ready for that mushy stuff!!! i lifted a bag of groceries that must have been too heavy and now i am paranoid that something went wrong... just a little sore in a different way. surely if something was majorly wrong it would be really painful right??...

I got to my week post op appointment tomorrow so ill be able to start full liquids. I'm not really craving anything but feel hunger so badly it hurts ... I'm sure it's not gas the gas feels different. Anyway i don't know how I'm going to get thru another 2 weeks of liquids even if they are fuller in consistency! Ugh any suggestions??

I'm only on clear liquid post op diet no shakes til I hit a week and I'm actually looking forward to that!! How r all of u??

Lucky u I am 4 days post op and I'm feelin hungry ...I mean the loudest tummy growel I've ever heard!!!

Glad to hear that same here!! I was banded Thursday and already feel the soreness going away a little bit. My gas has kinda moved from the chest down lower. Very loud and grumbly.

Oh no hiccups for me thank goodness!!

Thank y'all! I do feel better when I walk just finally took pain meds! Sometimes feeling bout of breath just from talking idk what that's about..
