Was banded on Monday . Did ok post op. ate required amount in hospital day after. Tuesday night, should have crushed the Percocet and taken with applesauce /pudding. Cut into 6 pieces and got stuck. Chewed a papaya enzyme tablet, and was better.

Yesterday, 2 days post op, couldn't drink more than 8 ounces water, still trying to sip slowly.

Seeing MD today , maybe swollen? Maybe need some fill removed?

Left shoulder pain that I use heating pad and walking to help, also stretching.

Anyone had similar experience with water?

Thanks.

^{NO IM DRINKING 32 OZS A DAY SPRING WATER THAT IS I CANT DRINK TAP WATER AT ALL....PERCOCET YOU SHOULD NOT BE TAKING ANY PILLS UN LESS CRUSHES COMPLETELY DR SHOULS OF GIVEN U LIQUID PERCOCET THATS WHAT I GOT....DRINK WATER VERY SLOW YOU CANT DRINK FAST!!!}

sorry ive been drinking 64 ozs now

Ok... MD removed fluid from band and I felt almost instantly better. Can even speak more easily! Now can get on with the healing part. Feel great.

Crazy how just taking out a little bit can make you feel so much better. But you see so many people on here thinking they can just stick it out and hopefully lose more weight because of the band being too tight. I am happy that you realized quickly that something wasn't right!

If you get dehydrated you get tighter. If you ever have this again. Try pop sickles until you see dr lots of pop sickles.
