Hello there, I am lap band pt about 10 months out.. I had a fill yesterday, I was at 9cc's in a 10cc band and my PA gave me .75 so now that would make me at 9.75, 1st off... WOW that I have that much in me, and 2nd I am to be on liquids til tomorrow AM. As I am able to keep the liquids down it is a little tough.. I can feel the liquid just sitting there and if I tried (and mind you) I wouldn't have to try to hard I could get it to come back up. I am taking tiny sips and waiting a few mintues inbetween each sip. What i am wondering is if I am having this kind of trouble with the liquids I will probably really have trouble with soilds or even soft foods. Should I wait it out over the weekend to see if the swelling and tight goes away or should I go in for a slight unfill... And I do mean slight. I am somewhat afriad if I wait I could become dehydrated due to not being able to drink much liquid. I have been working on a 32oz cup of water all day and am only about 3/4 thru it because I have to drink it super slow. I have had 1 protein shake and 2 cups of coffee and some very very runny soup. Soup was a bit harder to keep down but I did do it. Please help me if you or at lease give me suggestions if you can. Thanks

I had my 1st fill today.. Surgery June 7th.. I have only lost 20 pounds total but then again it's 20 pounds that I will never have to worry about again.. I am starving though. My Dr said liquids til Sunday or Monday what ever I can handle. But I was so hungry when I went into for my fill that I have been starving all day. So when I got home tonight I have a few peanut butter crackers... I had to get something solid in my stomach. I have drink water and protein shakes/drinks all day and nothing is filling me up. I had 3cc's added.

I here in KC North.. I was banded on June 7th at KU Medical Center which is where I work... but I have had a great experience so far. Down 11 pounds since my surgery.
