I was banded 4 days ago and am in the liquid stage right now.

Last night I think I drank too much and began to feel full and uncomfortable. The problem is that the feeling has not gone away yet. 21 hours later I still feel very full. I have not drank much today because I don't want the feeling to continue.

Any ideas?

i had that same feeling almost exactly like yours. it was really hard for me to get my liquid in. than it felt like i had gas and very painful at times but the feeling of fullness really bothered me too. after 8 days of dealing with this I called my dr. and he said for me to take pepcid or prilosec. at the time i was only taking gas-x because that is what I thought it was. so the gas-x did help but only for the time being and that feeling of fullness was still there. so anyways i started to take the pepcid and sure enough it took that feeling away like pressure you wouldnt believe it was horrible. but i dont know if thats your problem its something to consider i feel 100 times better. oh by the way it was acid indigestion so try that maybe it will help. good luck

The period of time just after surgery is strange. There is a lot of swelling in there and so you'll experience feelings like this. Just follow the doc's orders and the swelling should start going down in about a week or two. It took about a week before my swelling started to receed. Enjoy the full feeling...waiting for your first fill after the swelling is gone is a bumpy road!
