Hi,

Do you know if your surgeon put Fluid in your band at the time of surgery? (it seems like some of the people that have this problem right after surgery had a surgeon who put fluid in at the time of surgery) If so, maybe they need to remove it. If not, perhaps you are still swollen and need to stick with liquids for another week. Drink Protein Shakes instead - they might fill you up more.

Best wishes!

Its funny you say that....The same day i got banded when i would drink too fast i would get the hiccups so,....i learned to go real slow ever since.. also you know how you are trying something and you are not sure how it tastes.. you take the smallest lick you can ever take.... well thats me.. and then about the third lick...there she blows... i have to walk around with a barf bag....

Im thinking that maybe he did because last week i went in for a fever and the dietitian made a statement saying...he may have to remove some of the fluid.. but i didnt think anything about it cause they arnt suppose too

Oh that's terrible. sad.gif

I was banded on the 6th Dec and have 2cc in my band and didn't have any of the difficulties you are experiencing.

I'm able to eat just about anything- but I'm still sticking to mushies and liquids and feel hungry about every 2 hours! I'm also still having the Protein shakes as I like them and they fill me up for a little longer.

I hope you Dr. can fix this asap. It can't be good for your band or you.

Good luck!

P.s. since I am still real tender...that needle they use for the Fluid removal hurts...

The amount of Fluid in your band would be in your record from surgery, there is NO way that a prudent nurse would not look that up..seriously.

To find out how much was in there would have been the first thing ..the other is she would have to just aspirate the fluid out with a 10 cc syringe and the answer would have been there.

I was banded Dec 6 and have no fluid in my band, I won't have that added until in January AFTER I have healed..

I wish you LUCK!!

I just don't understand the rationale behind adding Fluid to the band at the time of surgery. Someone said something about avoiding Bandster Hell. Could that be why?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
