You need to contact your doctor do barium swallow test and have them adjust your band accordingly. Also you want to make sure your band didn't slip.

I'm mean I'm getting it at 3 weeks instead of 4.

Thanks Humming Bird, my doctor said not to eat 4hrs before and don't drink 2hrs before. I guess every doctor is diffrent like you said because one of my friends who had the surgery said his doctor said no eating only drink liquids and broth 24hrs before. I want to know which one is the best because I need my band filled good because right now I'm able to eat whatever I want. My doctor told me that I have the smallest band on and its still to big for me I have a lot of room so food will easly go down like I never had a band. Today I'm suppose to get it filled to the max so it will be tight around my stomach. I'm hetting at fill at 6weeks instead of 4 weeks because of this.

Thanks Elgrad.

I had my surgery October 14th and I get my 1st fill tomorrow what should I expect?

Is it going to hurt?

Is there any do's or don'ts I should know about?

I am on the well I am suppose to be on a pre-op diet, However I can not stomach the Protein Shakes. My surgery is scheduled for October 14th and I still can follow my diet. I tried the slim fast but I don't like milk so it taste gross to me. I tried another suppliment that my friend who recently had the surgery gave me and he said it taste good. I tried it this morning and it was worse then slim fast. I threw it right back up. What am I suppose to do. I need to do this diet for the next 10 days.
