I have had my band for almost two years... I have come to terms that dealing with diet, excercise and the LAP-BAND® itself is not all... but facing that it is a matter of having a real and serious eating disorder... I had a fill approx 2 weeks ago, me and the Dr. knew it was going to be a "good fill" and that I would have to be EXTRA careful... well, of course it only takes one blockage or over eating to start the swell... without heeding the "two day liquid only" rule, I have now pushed my self into being so swollen that I can barely/not drink liquids...I am hoping... no actually begging for some advice on how to overcome this without having to go through removing any liquid from my band... I am PB-ing up a storm and it feels like I am over producing phlem or what not..(gross, right?) HELP!!! PLEASE!
