I have been smooth sailing with me fills lap band all that jazz. I got a fill on Friday Nightmare couldn't eat or drink the whole weekend. Throwing up I ate peppermints & juice this weekend. On Friday I weighted in at 216 went back on Monday I weighted in at 206 good but not healthy. I got unfilled not even 1 cc I asked for one 1cc my doctor say no it will be ok when he take this little out. He couldn't have been more wrong I need more out Im still not able to eat a meal not even a small one. I hate to call them again but can't hold anything down this will be my third time there in 7 day but I don't want to keep throwing up. Maybe Ill wait a couple of day to see if it gets better Please weight in no pun intended.

My doctor does the same with 3 days liquids, 3 days mushy and then back to regular. Today is my second day of mushy. I start back Thursday with regular and I never once had a problem after a fill. Some doctors allow real food the next day. I think resting the band and insides for the 6 days is smart.

good luck and feel better. Calling back is better safe than sorry. That is why they get paid and they are there for us.

I work at a doctors office. The best advice I can give a patient is that YOU are your own best health advocate. You are the only one who knows how your body feels, and when something isn't right. Don't ever worry that you are bothering your doctors office! It's our jobs to take care of the patients, even if that means just listening to them. Granted, I don't work in a bariatric office, but I think it's good advice for anyone!

It sounds like you have been looking out for yourself by going in when you needed to. I hope you will call your doctor once again because what you describe sounds bad for your health (as other's have described).

You hired the doctor and pay him to do his job. He's not doing you a "favor" by seeing you!

You have an extremely legitimate concern and you need to call the person who can address it: your doctor.

Im sorry you are miserable, but it sounds fixable and is not a rare thing. People talk about this kind of thing all the time on here.

Take care of YOU!

Useful posts. I had a fill Tuesday and I think I'm still swollen. I was to do 2 days liquid , 2 days purée but I can't get much down still as of today. I can still sip Water and I had 2 cups of tea & half cup of Cappuccino .

I'm going to stay on liquids a couple more days before I start thinking infill.
