I had some problems and had to have all saline taken out, Tuesday got 2 cc fill ate some potato chips and it came back up mow my band hurts and I can't drink a lot how do I get swelling to go down?

Sip, sip, sip!!!If you are trying to gulp or drink too much at one time, the swelling, which is natural due to your surgery, will cause a back up. I still even 3 1/2 years down the line have times where my band does not let liquids go down, quickly! Calm down!!!Best wishes, Karen

No offense, but I am soooo glad to hear of SOMEONE else who has this issue. 4days of this...that can't b right. I haven't been eating. I just drink little sips and it just won't stay in there. I've lost about 20lbs in 5days. Why didnt I have this issue on days 1&2...I could swallow things fine then nothing came back up.

Thanks for ur advice. I don't feel as tho I am gulping....i mean I'm not sure if I am too often trying to take sips, but usually it's right after liquid comes back up and it tastes horrible so I take a sip. I usually feel a bit better when I wake up in the mornings but then it starts all over again soon as I take a drink. I try to stay calm- but dehydration is a worry as it feels like only about 80-90% of what I do drink is making it thru.

I just had my first fill in 4 years and struggle with the hunger I am feeling. I have a little discomfort in my stomach but am worried it wasn't a big enough fill because I can still gulp drinks/shakes with no issues. I accidentally did that oday out of habit

, panicked briefly then was ok because I realized it didn't do anything to me.
