I was able to eat normal yesterday and then woke up and had trouble with coffee.

are you pre or post op.......if post op, call your dr as being dehydrated is dangerous

Call the doctor

Definitely call the doctor. Liquid Motrin may help in the short term.

I'm always very tight in am. But 12 hrs call the doctor or end up in ER dehydrated. j/s

I think it's very irritated and inflamed. My band was fine for 5 months..

answer i gave hasnt changed.......if you cant drink, and its been 12 hours..its a problem

need to let your dr know

Yes, did you have a recent fill? You need to call ASAP, you can't go on without drinking!!!

At office before open now. I wish there was a 24 hour adjustment center for people like me. I was told to go to ER but non of them had bariatrics!

Did you get a recent fill, did you have a stuck episode, or did this randomly occur. Staying hydrated is paramount. Without proper fluids the cells in your body are less buoyant, to include those in the esophagus which can perpetuate the 'tightness' you are experiencing. Also makes you susceptible to irritation/inflammation making this a slippery slope. If you cannot even pass fluids, that's an emergency an warrants an unfill until everything settles down. Be careful hon..you don't want to set yourself up for worse scenarios
