Just got my 2nd fill today and am feeling super duper tight! Cant drink much takes about an hour to finish 8 oz of fluid....How am I gonna take my medication? I sure hope it's just due to swelling I would hate to be this tight forever...any suggestions?

Give it a couple of days, as long as you can drink and are peeing you can wait. Some ppl say swellling takes 2 days to a week to settle. If you start barfing call for an unfill. Cut your pills up really small or crush them for a few days.

Good luck,

Try a hot liquid, it loosens the band a bit. I was having some trouble keeping my meds down first thing in the morning. Now I wait until I have had a cup of coffee to take the pills. It has helped a lot. Also, I agree that you may have swelling that may take a few days to go down.

How are you doing now? i had my second fill yesterday and am having a difficult time drinking. I hope it has loosened up for you!
