I am 9 days post op. From the first when I'd drink I felt as though I would throw up. I was able to drink less and less. I eventually had to return to hospital for fluids. I stayed in hospital 3 nights & dr. said band could be too small & swelling was up. The doctor removed 1 and 1/2 cc of fluid from the band. Then I drank in front x-ray and watched it go through stomach opening. I remained in hospital & next day I was given a shot of steriods to help with swelling. It took another day for this work. On the 7th day post op I began to feel as though I could hold something down. I had about 4 oz. of liquids (ice chips, water, broth, & vanilla protein drink) I was sent home and told to take it slow. I have been home 2 days and still feel full after only 2 or 3 oz of liquid. I still froth after almost everything I eat. This is not how it's supposed to be. Should I have the doctor place a larger band so I can have full benefits of this surgery or continue to work with this one?
