Hi i have just got back from visiting family in England i had a adjustment 2 weeks before i went they took more out because of the flying making the band tighter i tried looking for dr's in my mums area the only ones i could find were in private hospitals whaich to use in England are expensive if you are having some fluid taken out of your band everything should be fine i was worried before i went but i followed everything my pa told me so good luck have a great trip

I was told not to eat anything before ,during or after the flight and that i was to just have liquids because the altitude could tighten the band i had my fill over a week ago they wanted to give time for the swelling to go down incase i needed some liquid taking out so i am really looking forward to coming home so i can have another fill as i am really nervous about gaining the weight as i don't have any restriction

I had my 1st fill just over a week ago now i seem to be more hungry they only put 1cc in this time so now i have the 2 cc total in a 10cc band they didn't want to put to much in as i will be flying next week and they didn't want the band to be too tight i am worried now as i was doing really well i had lost 36lb now i am worried incase i start gaining again while i am on my trip my next fill isn't until march 26 is there any advice any one can give me

I was wondering if anyone used baby food while they were on the post op pureed stage if you could let me know i would really appreciate it:smile:
