I had the lap band placed in July of 07. So far, Ive lost 33 lbs, and things are going well. I got a fill yesterday and Im thinking its too tight, because I have had an uncomfortably full feeling since, and hav'nt been able to hold down even applesauce. Any suggestions?

Hi there!

My doctor says I have to be on liquids for two days after a fill and then mushies for two more days before eating solids again. You will get some swelling of your stomach when the fill is done. That could be why the food is not going down well. Once the swelling goes down it should be easier.

If it is not better in two or three days you should call your doctor and see what he, or she, says. Donna

Thanks for responding! I had to go back and get 1/2 half a cc removed, and and doing much better!
