OK so I got a fill about 3 weeks ago. And in the last week I started to notice I was getting tighter. Then this weekend I was having pain, which I thought was reflux and by Saturday night could not sallow Water. I have 2 ccs taken out Sunday and I could drink, but with pain. Today I'm still having pain when drinking water. My Dr thinks it still just reflux and I have need taking acid reducers but they do not seem to help. So anyone know a cure for the pain? Anything I can take? I'm guessing I'm sore/raw from being closed and I need to heal, but getting liquid down is hard with the pain! If I'm not drinking I'm fine, so the Dr does not think a slip has occurred, also because I can drink, it just hurts.

I'm planning on being there tomorrow!

Yesterday I got my 6(ish?) fill, I've never gotten to a good restriction, mostly I'm tight in the mornings and can eat only a little but by evening it seems I have no restriction. Anyway I went for my fill yesterday and the Doc filled me to till I was completely closed (he put 4 more CC's in) then had me drink Water and of course it did not go down then he started taking Fluid out until the water drained out of the pouch and I could drink, so he ended up adding 2.5 cc's (I have a 14cc band). Then I drank the whole bottle of water before I left the office,I was able to get the water down, but it did take some time. Anyway on the way home I started to feel some pain, and I tried eating a little Soup last night and had a lot of pain! This morning I could feel something was different, but it didn't really hurt. So before I went to work I had a few sips of water to take my Vitamins and that hurt a little and when I got to work I got a pudding and after 3 bites I was done! The weird thing is this is not a stuck pain (I've been stuck, and it either goes away or I BP it out). Beside this is more like the pain I had after surgery, like a sharp pain. Anyone ever have anything like this happen? I'm wondering if I got bruised when he filled it up and I drank without it being able to go thru. I've called my Doc and left a message I hope he calls back!!

I've had my AP large for a year and I'm just now at a good spot. Or maybe overfilled!

What is the cost to get the surgery in Mexico? Is it that much cheaper? I know my Doc (Dr Myers at Riverside) does fills for people that did not get banded with him. When I was in the Hospital after my surgery there was a man in the next room that just got back from Mexico after having a bypass. He ran into complications and came back to the states to get help.

I'm going to try and make it, I just shoveled off my driveway and now I need a nap!!

I just got banded last Tuesday, so I'm almost a week out. Columbus Ohio here..

Well I am banded and home. Tired and sore, but banded!! :blushing:

Just got home from the Hospital, tired and sore but glad!!

Good luck everyone! Tomorrow is the big day, hope everyone does good and I'll see ya on the other side!!

I'm not banded yet, but I really hope to get off my cpap!

Getting banded on the 26th as well! I'm doing the pre op diet right now and it sucks! I'm hungry!! But I can't wait for Tuesday to get here!
