I had my 2nd fill today. (Banded 05/11/12).

I'm at 3.8 CC in a 10 CC band.

My dr told me to try eating, slowly, as my last fill provided no restriction what so ever.

I took one bite of a cooked jalepeno, swollowed it and immediately though it was a bad idea...

I PBed up the one bite within second, and have been PBing up "foam" for the last 20 minutes.

If I'm not burbing, I'm hiccuping or spitting up foam.

It's not painful, but it's a psychological freaky thing.

Ideas, suggestions, support?

It sounds like you're irritated... Try getting a big mug of HOT tea with honey, as hot as you can drink it... It'll open the band and soothe your stomach.

Thanks for the suggestion! Im waiting on the kettle now to have some tea. I hope it helps. No more peppers for me

In the future I would just stick with liquids on fill days. I'm surprised your doctor doesn't advise it!

I didn't see my surgeon today - I saw a PA because my surgeon was running really behind schedule.... I think next time I'll just reschedule if that's the case. Not because of the issue I'm having, but also because the PA kept "jabbing" at my port and couldn't get the needle in. I actually bled through a bandaid. He kept insinuating it was my fault because of the type of pants I was wearing (they're actually the same pants I wore on my last weigh in / fill. I like to wear the same clothes so I know it's not my uniform weighing me down?).

Oh well. I lived through it, and learned.

Next fill I'll be sure to stick with liquids. Thanks Shauna <3

My surgeon has me stick to full liquids for atleast three days...which actually jump starts sine weight loss plus keeps my stomach not irritated.

My surgeon suggests liquids for 48 hrs afterwards. The last two fills, I did not follow to a T. This Monday is my third fill, and I will follow the rules because I already have a little restriction and know I will have more after the next fill...
