First fill 6 weeks post op.

Hello. I have had three fills , I am a little behind on fills because broke leg, but all my fills are under fluoro. My understanding and my dr lets me watch the screen. swallow contrast - see go thru - adds fill amt - swallow and sees go thru - continues until fluid does not go thru and then removes say 1/2 cc and done. I am still not at my "sweet spot". not near - going in a few wks for another. Friend of mine who has had band surg says hang in there it will come. Fluoro just helps put max in at that time, w/o too much to close it off. When fill u also get swelling , i am on liq rest of day and mushy food next.After third fill I could feel tightness 3 wks later which i guess is to also be expected. but now i can eat a lot more than what i am supposed to be. Frustrating. Let me know how u are doing . Michelle

Sounds like how i was , 3 days post op..nothing abnormal.keep up the good work. try pillows under knees and lower legs while on your back it helps. good luck
