When they did the barium swallow they thought they something trickling out. But when they went back in to take.a look it is.just small pooling area from lap band causing out pouching. They have a drain in me now just to be sure.

Doing great over here!! Had the same issues with getting fluids in but it is way better now. Try doing Popsicles. That makes it easier for me and broth I also tolerate very well. Good luck glad to see everyone is ok!!

Hey ladies I was may 16 th too! Doing good. Managing with shakes and soup. Struggling to get past 40-50ozs of water though! No pain and only a little hunger. Can't wait for my 4 week check with my surgeon to see my loss!! Glad you're all doing well!
