Hey -

I just had all my 4.5 oz removed from my band because of an upcoming trip to rural China. We were concerned about issues I may have over there (and no way to get help). I will have it put back in mid-November.

Anyway, I never even thought to ask my doc but has anyone else had a removal of Fluid? I am very nauseous and having diarrhea/gas (sorry if TMI). Is it just my stomach getting used to more food at one time? It is very strange feeling.

Any help advice/appreciated. I am leaving the country and 36 hours and want to know if this is normal.

make sure you weigh your food and try to limit it to no more than a cup to prevent weight gain and other issues.

Definitely try to eat the same as if the band were filled...
