First off- I am 6 weeks post op banding. I have 3 ccs in a 10cc band, put in at time of surgery.

I am Just wondering about getting something stuck. Thursday night (3 1/2 days ago) I accidently took a handful of pills all at once. How dumb! I knew as soon as I started to swallow I was in trouble. Well, since then I haven't had much of an appetite. I did have some pain between my breast a couple days. I am trying to eat but nothing sounds good. I have only been eating yogurt and scrambled eggs with melted cheese. That and warm Water is about the only thing that sounds good. Oh and I had some cream of wheat. Here it is Monday and I still have no appetite. My stomach feels "jittery" at times, if that makes sense. The pain has subsided. I just feel so weak. I do have an appointment with the surgeon day after tomorrow. They had planned on doing a fill, but I say NO! I don't think they would anyway with me feeling the way I do.

My question is does this sound what others have gone through after getting something stuck? When the band slips you throw up right? Or can't get food down?

Thanks

Whenever I have felt like something got stuck, i PB'd - and it cleared. I also find that drinking hot liquids, coffee, tea etc.. tend to keep me running. Now that being said - I had me port removed 3 months post-op and that was 5 years ago. While I have a fully open band, I do expereince restriction - down from 410 to 245 (45 to go).

Best bet, if you are uncomfortable, go to your Dr., and have them do an fluroscope (if they have one in the office) that way you will now for sure - best not to be nervous about it.

Well tonight I have made a 100% turn around. I think the not eating was just really wearing me down. i forced myself to have 3 meals today, lots of protein and I feel so much better. No wonder I was so weak, I only had about 100 calories yesterday and Saturday. Talk about dumb! Well, I have learned a lesson in not going without food while banded.
