  1. I am so aggrevated. My fill was two weeks ago today and I've spent a miserable weekend with reflux. My diet has consisted of popcorn and nexium and soup. Now isn't it strange I can eat popcorn? Seems if I can eat that then I'm not too full. If I read this site it scares me to death about pouch stretching, etc and I wonder do I need 1/8 cc removed? I'm so discouraged but can't keep this up. Feel like my PA at the surgeon's office is tired of dealing with me. ? :-( Unsure of what to do cause I've had reflux and stomach problems in the past. Guess I'll call the surgeon's ofc today. Thx for the reply.
  2. I am two year post op with my band as of 5/8 and love it, love it, love it, have had very few problems. I have lost 62 pounds with a goal of 86 pounds. Anyway, I thought I wasn't feeling restriction as much and I had been gaining weight (8 pounds). Its been 9 months since I had a fill, and I had a fill on Monday, of 1/4cc. I experienced a lot of resistance right away with my band. The day of the fill, I was fine, the day after I was fine, today I have a lot of burping going on. I also have Bronchitis and am having a hard time getting my protein drink down, however I am drinking water just fine. (Have a lot of congestion and coughing up gunk due to bronchitis). AFter I drink water, There is a little gurgling afterwards. I don't want to call my surgeon and have the fluid removed, my question is in anyone's experience does this gurgling pass and such. I went back and read my manual and it said go liquid for a few days after a fill and that is what I've done, for lunch only 1/2 bowl soup. Any suggestions or thoughts?
