I am going to call him at 8am in the morning! I feel so uncomfortable and feel like I have to burp and I regurgitate everytime I try to drink anything or eat anything I am so concerned, I feel stuck and I shouldn't feel like this from siping on Water the eventually comes right back up. Praying morning comes quick I'm so thirsty but can't keep anything down.

Thanks so much, I am going to call him at 8:00am to go in! This is not right, I feel like I have to burp everytime I drink a little of anything! It's so uncomfortable and I'm so concerned.

I am 5 months post-op! I have a 10cc band. I got my last fill about 3 months ago and I have lost a lot of weight had no problems what so ever eating! This last 3 weeks I have been regurgitating everyday sometimes everytime I eat. I feel like my food is not going down like it suppose to and I end up regurgitating it back up, it's not a violent regurgitating but I know this is not normal. Sometimes it's hard for me to drink anything without it coming back up. I thought I had Acid Reflux or either I am eating too fast not chewing enough. And I get the hiccups and start to burp! I have health insurance my husbands job changed from Aetna to Blue Cross Blue Shield. I am waiting on my new insurance card to come in so I can go see my Dr. Any advise anyone

Thanks so much ladies for helping me out. I have been doing my protein first and counting my calories. I made a appointment to go see my LapBand Dr Next Wednesday the 23 of this month. He said that I need a adjustment some saline added. So I have a week to go! While I continue to do as he and you all instructed me to do.. Much love everyone -

I got my first fill on 1/3/13.. I am having problems with the fill! I am not staying full for the 4 hours like I'm suppose to. I am staying hungry. What should I do.. Please help me..

My Dr said they were suppose to give it to me after my surgery before I went home! But they forgot, so he gave it to me yesterday. When I asked him why he stated most emergency rooms do not have the proper needle they use for a fill. So incase of an emergency he gives it to his Patiences to carry on them at all times. You never know

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much, I do notice the difference now. I had to remind myself to eat and drink something. It's amazing.

I am happy to say I got my first fill yesterday! My Dr took out the saline he put in during surgery, to my amaze it was 4cc. I have a 10cc band and yesterday he added another 2cc, so I now have 6 cc in and my surgery was on November 26, 2013. I am happy to say all my fear was for nothing. I didn't even feel when he put the needle in the port, or the fill.. Than you Jesus! I was even given a needle to carry on me at all times in case I had to go to the emergency room for so unforeseen reason, so they would have the needle they needed incase they needed to access my port in a case of emergency. I am happy to say I'm on the Liquids for 48 hour, then back to regular eating. No bread, No beef. On my way to a health new me. So excited!!
