Banded 2 weeks ago. 3cc's removed at 1 week post op Tues 7/21/09 because I could not drink. Then I swelled and on Friday 7/24/09 IV fluids with decadron(steroid to help) and another 1cc removed. Now again on Sunday back pain, golf ball in stomach feels lower than on Friday but lots of belching and spitting. I do get hungry but can not hold more than a few sips. Then it sits there uncomfortable, cannot drink Protein Shakes or Water. I have tried cold drinks, warm drinks. I feel like I could eat but afraid to try. Could I be blocked again? or is this bandster hell?:thumbup: ha

Where I got banded they do not put any Fluid in untill your first fill at 6-8 weeks. You have liquids for the first 3 weeks. This allows for you to heal from surgery. I was banded 2 weeks ago and I am doing well. I did read for people that feel blocked to do yoga breathing type exercises and it help open things up. I wish you luck.

I hate to admit it but I'm not sure. I know that my doctor doesn't fill during surgery,but maybe after testing the band all the saline didn't drain back out. Sounds a little unlikely I know. Like I said any advice would be so appreciated. I think I'm better no severe back or chest pain yet today. I had odwalla chocolate 3 oz. and a half wet egg. Thanks guys for responding.

Call and ask your surgeon if you still have saline in there. Unless he told you he was removing ALL of it...you said he removed 1cc, then 1cc. How do you know there isn't more in there? Depending on your band size you MAY still have a good amt of saline in there. Call your doc.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
