Hey guys,

I had a quick question for everyone....I just had my second lap fill this afternoon.....my band is now filled 2.5 ccs. I am sticking to clear liquids as I was told....however, I have only been able to get down a little bit of water. Also, I keep spitting up saliva....is this normal? I was hoping that my band would loosen a little over the next few days....but is it normal to spit up saliva?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Last December I was apparently overfilled and couldn't swallow my saliva. I went in 24 hours later (and it was a miserable 24 hours) and had some removed for relief. I would recommend calling your dr. as it would be a long weekend with that level of tightness.

Good luck, and be sure to take care of yourself - that is what is most important!

Thanks for the reply....I couldn't even wait 24 hours it was so uncomfortable. I called my dr. this morning and went back to the hospital and had some of the fill removed. I can now drink water comfortably....so I knew it was too tight. I guess I am sensitive because I am only at 1.8cc's...but I feel comfortable now.

if you cant drink then you cant eat. Definitely call the Dr.

I had to go to 4.4cc's in my band before I had enough restriction. It's amazing how different we all are.
