Thanks for your advice. I have an appt. with my doc wed morning.

Thanks Sue! Helpful information!

I'm five years post surgery and have gone through four fills over that time. I've lost a total of about 80 pounds and was pretty satisfied with where I was and the amounts I was able to eat. I started experiencing band problems about three weeks ago. I was taking some antibiotics for chest congestion and a slight fever. Over a two week period, it seemed I wasn't able to eat my usual small portions, and even liquids were difficult to keep down. I'm now at the point that I can barely get any solid food to stay down. When I spoke with my surgeon over the phone he said it was likely a reaction to the antibiotic and that I should just stay on hot liquids for a while. Well it's been nearly two weeks and I've lost about 12 pounds but I am weak and can barely get around. Also, I've started getting leg cramps and have pain walking. I see the surgeon next week but may have to go to the emergency room if the pain and problems persist. Any suggestons?

I highly recommend Dr. Patel who works with Atlanticare in Atlantic City. Had my lapband three years ago. He is very good.
