Hi all,

I am new to this site and the band ...I had my third fill yesterday (5.2) ...before this I had no real restriction unless I ate real fast or didn't chew enough...but If I ate slow and chewed well, I could eat a lot...after yesterday..i am having a hard time drinking enough water and def not eating much without pain and feeling stuck for most of the day. It doesn't matter whether its in morning or evening....should I wait a few days to see if it changes ?

thanks for your feedback...feeling concerned

My take is the swelling from a fill can take a day or two to settle.
Please don't irritate it.... mine takes days to settle down. Yogurt and soups seem to help.
Good luck. Please update when possible !

If you still, after a day or two, have a hard time with water, definitely call your surgeon. Mine has me drink water before I leave his office.

after a fill i have only liquids for 48 hours then 48 hours of puree then slowly go from there . a fill even a small one will inflam the stomach if you rush it you will have problems espcially at the fill level you are. when you say your having trouble what kind of trouble and pain . is it not staying down at all then def see the doctor
