Do any of you getting hiccups if you eat something without chewing enough? I get REALLY loud hiccups that last for quite a while. I have noticed the legs crossing thing , too!

I have had 2 fills. Since the last one, 5 days ago, I can eat very few solids. Do fills typically loosen up? I do not know if I should wait a little and see if more goes down or go ahead and get some out. Thanks for any help!!

I have only had one fill, 5 days ago. Dr had to poke around (3 times) to get the right angle. I thought it was very uncomfortable but didn't make me cry. I am kind of a wimp but I survived. I was told that the rest of my fills will be better because there will not be any inflammation. If a wimp can do it, you can, too!! Good luck and congrats!

Thanks for the replies. I was freaking out a little bit. I PB'ed at least 15 times and my chest hurt so much. I thought I had slipped my band. I thought ARby's would be ok because it is sliced so thin but I was wrong....

I think I am ok now...

I was banded on May 30. I had my first fill on Friday. I have had no problems. I tried to eat just the roast beef from Arby's (no bread) 5 hours ago and have not been able to keep water down since. My chest is tight and achy. Has anyone had this problem before? Is it something I should call the after hours dr for or is it ok to wait until tomorrow during business hours?

Congratulations! Someday, i will be joining you...

Is it just the money they are worried about? As long as you know that the band is a TOOL not a cure, you should be ok. I have just started this journey, so I do not have a lot of answers. I know for me, the band has been wonderful. I have lost 20 lbs, so far. I have not been able to do that on my own EVER.

I would call the doc to see what they say. If you do not have a fever, I do not think there would be a problem.

I was banded on the same day as you. How are you doing now? Did your pain get better?

Going for my first fill tomorrow. I can't wait because I have been using up all of my will power to not pig out. I am nervous though!

I was on the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and had this problem the entire time. Maybe it will go away when you gets solids. If you are worried, give your doc a call.

Have you been stressed about something? I have always used food as a "coping" mechanism.

I was banded on May 30. I get my first fill this Friday. I have had no problems. In fact, I feel almost like I did not have surgery at all. I can't wait to feel restricted and get going with this weight loss!

PCOS makes you more susceptible to Type II diabetes due to the insulin resistance. Taking Metformin (I take it even though I do not have diabetes) is supposed to help avoid becoming diabetic.
