  1. Hi,

    I hope someone out here can give me some good advice right now because I feel miserable. I went for my fifth fill today putting me at about 7.5 CC's. My last fill I could feel restriction for about two weeks and it let up a bit. I could still eat more than I wanted to. So, I go for my fill today (.75 CC's) and the nurse had to take out .25 CC's in order for me to get a sip of Water down. I leave the office and here comes all of this foamy stuff in my chest and throat. I have been spewing this all day long and still can't really drink much if anything. I called the Dr. office and they want me to wait a day to see if it improves due to the swelling my stomach has right now due to the fill. I just don't know what I can do to relieve my misery until tomorrow. I am tired of spitting!!! :) Any suggestions anyone???


  2. Hello Vamag,

    That is great that your insurance will cover 100% of the surgery. Just do the diet for 6 months and go for it! I waited almost a year before getting my approval. I was banded on 7/13/09 and have been so excited since. I had never been put under before and was incredibly nervous about it. They have these wonderful drugs to help you relax prior to surgery. Once in the OR, it is just a minute or two and then you are out like a light and will not remember a thing. It will be fine. Good luck to you!
