Hi: I was banded on 7/17, and couldn't even swallow my spit for 2 days. Ended up in the hospital on 7/18 for 36 hours on IV fluids and steriods to maybe reduce the swelling. Then thedoc drew out 2 cc from the new band and at least I coild drink water. On Tues. 7/21 I started protrein shakes, and maybe can get 3 down a day. But today 7/25 I tried a little yogurt for brealfast and applesauce for lunch and feel like crap. They told me week 2 you should tried some puree foods, like soup through a blender, but I can't get even enough water down between meals. I told the doc to take the damm thing out if this how I am going to feel. Any advice or simular stories. THANKS:confused:

With your sleep apnea, did taking the pain meds they give you for home use cause more of a problem with your apnea, and are you on a cpac machine?
