Went today and got an unfill in hopes of fixing dilation. When I hold my 20 lb daughter now my stomach hurts plus Dr did not say liquids so I ate dinner now stomach is even more sensitive and irritated feeling. Should I have done liquids only? Is it ok to hold daughter? Did I damage my self?

You really need to call your doctor and get much more clear instructions. Unfortunately we're not doctors and we can't answer your questions.

Call your doctor.

i will pm my friend jean *who wrote the bandwagon book* and ask her to comment on this as this has happened to her...i hope she will be able to respond soon

as missy says and i strongly recommend, ALWAYS call your doctor if something is wrong...

Thank you so much. And I will

Missy and CG gave you good advice about calling your surgeon for post-fill protocol instructions. It's possible that eating a meal of solid food added to your discomfort, but I don't see how holding your 20-lb child could affect your band or stomach. If by saying your stomach hurts you mean that your abdomen hurts, it's probably just irritation from the needle and that will go away soon enough. If picking up or holding your daughter causes you pain or discomfort right now, you might want to ask a family member to help out for a few days.

Great thank you and it was my abdomen
