well i had lapband about 2 months ago on october 8th, well everything was fine untill i got my first fill. my dr. had a hard time finding my port first off and stuck me 3 or 4 times. but thats not what i was worried about the dr. put 5CCs in my band and i kept belching for like 2 weeks afterwards i still do some now too. i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

secondly i noticed when i roll over in bed it seems like soemthing is moving around my port. or if i roll over on it and my hand is on it, it will hurt.

this is going to sound nasty but the other day i just got off work and i had let myself get to hungery and i stuffed my face it seemed like and i got sick well before i got my first fill i could drink something and it would go down but now it doesnt help but i know im not spossed to drink while i eat, but i did the other day and it was milk i got sick on see if i drink somethin when food gets stuck then it will come back up. well i tried drinking the milk when i got food caught to make it come back up but i found out milk now makes me so sick i can not drink it. i have tried just milk by itslef and it still makes me really sick i was wondering why this happend..

sorry im writing so much i just joined and have a lot of questions. my surgery has been weird.. about 2 weeks after i got my first fill my dr told me i had to much saline in my band but i didnt go get some taken out cause i didnt have the money. well its been about a month since my first fill and its like i can eat a lot it seems like still but i still belch or it even seems like air bubbles almost in my sthomic. i dont know can anyone give me some advice at all. im really worried something might be worng..:cursing:

Ariel Im preband so I wont be much help. But come in the chat room, there is always a bander there to help with issues like this.

Hi. Well I'm 10 days post band and I haven't had a fill yet. As far as the burping goes just be glad you can for now. I can't and its very painful. My doc said its common for us to swallow a lot of air at this point. Sorry I don't have more advice to give. Good Luck!

If you have too much saline in your band and "stuff" yourself, it will get stuck and drinking something, milk or anything else will not help, it will be stuck right along with the food. I think some burping goes along with the band but excessive burping may very well mean you need to get an unfill. I am surprised you'd be overfilled after one fill but who knows, it is possible.
