Dancing Fool got a reaction from formerfatchick in Loving my Lap Band in 2019I've had a lap band for 3 and a half years. One of my New Years resolutions is to recommit to the rules of banded living and get back to the conscientiousness that I (and a lot of us, I'm guessing) had back when our bands were new. Its not like I'm totally running wild with my eating and drinking; its just that I had gotten a little sloppy with the basics, like eating slowly, taking small bites, chewing thoroughly and drinking at least 64 oz. of water a day. A new year is a great time to resolve to do better.
Wishing you all a successful 20191

Dancing Fool got a reaction from Julie norton in Lapband advice needed - feeling weirdYou should go to a bariatric doctor to see if all is well with your band and your stomach. Also, do some pondering on whether you are now ready to commit to living within the rules of post-bariatric surgery life.

Dancing Fool got a reaction from Julie norton in Fill yesterday. Too tight??I'm not sure what you mean by can't hold down liquids. If you literally can't get liquids down past your band, I'd go back to the doc because you will soon become dehydrated or worse. If instead you mean liquids go down slow and taking a huge gulp would not be comfortable, I personally would not be alarmed if this was occurring the day after a fill.
Either way, I would call the dr's office and describe what's going on and get their advice on whether to come back in or wait and see.
