So I got my first fill today. Added 1 cc so I now have a total of 5 in my 11 cc band. I am very burpy today. Like I was right after surgery. Is this normal? Also my doc said that he no longer requires liquids only after a fill for a couple days. So I ate cooked broccoli and salmon for lunch. Big mistake. I was very uncomfortable. So for dinner I ate a ricotta bake I make that is good for mushy stage. That went pretty well by I have this weird warm sensation in my chest. Not pain but just kinda warm and full/ tight. Noraml or not?

So far, after reading a zillion posts on this web site, I've come to the conclusion that Everyone is different....sort of like each pregnancy is different. I had my first fill last month....she put n 5cc...but never told me how much my band holds...except they gave me the Realize band....which comes in two sizes. Yes, I have had a few gas and burpng sensations......and tonight at dinner out....I thought I was dying when something got stuck.....and how to explain it....it is hard to say. Plus, I have yet to feel much restriction at all; so I am mostly just using my own food journal calorie counting.....so I still am on a calorie restriction diet. But NORMAL.....I am also confused as to what or how or when I will feel certain things with the band. All I know is that I still hurt when I sleep on my stomach....some say it is scar tissue around the port. Good luck...and hope you find some answers on this website. God bless, Cheri
