I had to go tothe surgeon yesterday for a fluid check to see if the band was leaking, which it is not thank god!!

He added 1c to bring me to 5- last night and today i am drinking just fluids but they are going down very slow -- i have to wait a good 10-15 min between every 2 sips or so... no vomiting, no nausea -- just wondering if this is normal to feel? cant imagine anything solid or even mushy at this point.

Try drinking a bit of hot tea to open it up a little. It tends to be tight in the mornings and especially since you just got a fill. :sifone:

As long as you are keeping fluids down I think it is safe to wait through the weekend to see if it is stoma swelling from the fill vs being slightly over filled. If at any point you go more than a few hours unable to drink at all please call your doc.
