i get them also,but i went to my doctor and got a antibiotic ointment that clears it right up,but then its back again a few days later -
i am going on my 6th fill and still no restriction,how come i am not feeling any yet.this is really upsetting to me......

go ahead and have your coffee,the reason the doc says not to have it is because it can dehydrate you and irritate your belly,but if you can handle it,go right ahead.i have my coffee every morn and i have no problems.test it and see how it affects you

has anyone brought food with them to fills?
laurajean1 replied to ohhamburgers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

i only have to do liquids the first day,and i do not eat before i go to get the fill
