I had a band put in 21/12/2014. At first it was fine and I could eat and drink normally, after my first fill it was the same. I had my third fill in March, and after the fill I was told to have a drink of water before I went home and stay on a liquid diet for 24 hours. I drunk the water before I left with no problems, but when I got home tried to have some soup which caused chest pain and instantly came back up. I couldn't even drink hardly anything, and didn't even try to eat for 3 days and felt terrible. After a few weeks I was able to drink with no problems, but eating was hit and miss - some days I could eat relatively normally (slowly and chewing well) but other days I would take one bite and get stuck. Anyway, 3 weeks ago I started being able to eat normally with no sickness so decided to go for another fill on 4/5/2015. Since then I've been back to how I was before - hardly being able to drink and can't eat at all. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, and if anyone has any advice because I'm starting to worry and feeling so rubbish at the moment.
