I took Zoloft before and after with no problem. If it's a big pill you may have to cut it in half.

I took mine off a few days after surgery. I have a sensitivity to any adhesive like band aids or tape. They were itching so bad. I had no problems

I was waiting to see if it relaxes some. I try not to freak out as long as I can drink. With other fills it seemed to relax after a few days. I can still drink water/protein drinks/Gatorade with no problem. I'm just a little concerned about the acid reflux and heartburn. My doctor is only in office on mon and wed and in hospital the other days. I'm sure if it was emergent the other dr in the office could loosen it, but I would rather see my dr. I don't think my office charges for a follow up if it is related to a fill. It still amazes me the difference such a tiny amount of fluid makes.

I think I'm gonna call on Monday. It just seems to get tighter and tighter. I had my last fill in November and could eat pretty much anything. It amazes me the difference 0.5 cc makes.

I just got a 0.5cc fill on Wednesday. My doc says liquids for a couple days and I have but I've had a lot of heartburn and reflux. Why does having a tighter band cause this?

I have checked my heart rate manually against the Fitbit and it is accurate. It causes me no problems, just made me curious. I had a cardiac work up before my surgery and no problems.

I'm a little over a year out from lap band and have had no real problems. However occasionally I have cramping in my stomach like I need to have a bm, but while attempting I get uncontrollable dry heaves (nothing comes up) until the cramping passes. I never had anything like this before lap band. After the cramping subsides I feel perfectly fine. It causes swelling (I'm assuming) in my band and I'm extremely tight the next few days. Any suggestions?

I had lap band placed a year ago in November. I have lost 55 lbs, which I am very happy with. I recently bought a Fitbit charge hr and have noticed that my heart rate is much lower than before my surgery. It regularly runs in the mid 50's. It doesn't seem to cause me any issues, just wondering if anyone else had this happen. I have read a lot about the lap band and its effects on vagus nerve.
