Can those of you who are post op please confirm something for me?

I think my stomach is healing and it is easier for me to swallow. I still feel a little resistance, but not too much. I am one week post op and no fill yet.

I am supposing that it is healing and this is normal. I have done nothing to cause a 'slip' that I know of. I have been very faithful to the diet. I am boderline freaking out here hoping this is ok.

Don't freak out, everything is fine. I've already had one fill and swallowing is still very easy. It will take time to feel really strong restriction.

thanks! you made my day

The swallowing is getting easier because the post-surgery swelling is going down. Before my third fill I had no restriction and could eat anything; the trick is to NOT eat bad stuff or in bulk just because you're able to. Between surgery and having enough fill to have restriction is a good time to practice the new eating skills you have to have when you do finally reach restriction.

Thanks, I was hoping that was it. I appreciate all the feedback y'all.

Oh, what a difference a day makes!

Your good!!! 2 weeks post op here and have almost the same feeling. My surgeon told me I am tight because after surgery the stomache swells and many times air gets trapped under the stitches where the band is (causing a tight affect)

Keep up the good work

Sometimes the tube down your throat during surgery can irritate the throat.
