Air Trapped In Band, After Surgery...

So, I have been having issues with 'fullness' and a foamy mouth for weeks. While I went to my surgeon 9 days after surgery I was told to wait 2 weeks to for the swelling to go down in my stomache and if not to come back.

Well, nothing had changed, I would eat 2-4 ounces of mushy foods and get so full I couldn't eat more. I would drink a lot of Water,and was too full to even eat. My food tracker indicates I was getting in about 6-8 ounces of food a day (no snacks) and lots of water. At first the surgeon might of thought I was dehyrdated but we ruled that out because I am drinking more than 64 ounces of water a day. Could be 'acid reflux' and this is still in question.

While my foamy mouth is still in question, The surgeon did remove air that was trapped in my band. It was painless and she found my port super fast (what a relief that was). I was numbed first, told to do a little sit up and then lay back down... waaaala!

I will continue to take an acid blocker for another 2 weeks and hope I can get more food in. If I still foam I am going to my primary doctor to investigate if this could be a side effect from one of either one my medications I take. I really hope its not a bad case of acid reflux I never had this before the band...
