After leaving the office I can constantly feel the band inside my chest. I'm six weeks post-op and just had my first fill today, and I also never had problems with keeping down food before.

Is this a normal feeling and does it go away? It's not painful but being able to constantly sense it is distracting me, it feels like I'm being squeezed.

Also, I'm told to only have liquids for 3 days. Each time I take a small sip of my Protein shake it makes the sensation feel heavier and I'm burping several times each time. Does it get better after 3 days or should my band be unfilled? I've lost 19 pounds since the band was put in with no fill.

Have you gotten any better? How much did you get on your first fill? Was it done under flouroscopy or blind? Did you have to drink Water before you left the office?

After a long nap I didn't feel the presence of the band anymore. He wouldn't say when I asked about the amount, only that he used sterile Water and my band was originally empty. I said, "sterile water or normal saline?" He said nothing because the nurse gave him NS. There was no flouroscopy, I drank water during and after the fill.

Hi Jeanette ! Did you ever go back for an un-fill? If yes, how long after ? If no, how long did the symptoms take to disappear after the fill Hope you feeling better now x

I didn't get my fill undone, although I did throw up 3 days in a row. I rode it out. Now I only feel hungry twice a day. I'm still losing weight and don't plan for another fill unless my weight loss stalls.
