Had my surgery on the 23rd and still a bit sore and, if I am honest with myself, a little frightened. Second day after the procedure had to get fluid removed from the band because the stoma had closed completely and nothing could pass through. Relief was immediate but now, a day after, the same gagging reflex is setting in and I worry that the swelling has closed the stoma again. Oh well, wait and see. If it doesn't better, I call the doc on monday.

I am from Long Island, NY and have surgery performed yesterday. After the procedure, everything was fine with just a but of soreness. Today was the first day I could leave the hospital and I am finding I am having difficulty drinking enen little sips of water let alone yoghurt. Over a period of several hours, I drank about four ounces of water. That stayed down for a while. Several hours later with no additional intake (except saliva) I regurgatated a quantity of slime and water in excess of what I have drunks. About two hours later, same thing again. Is this normal after placement action.) You could forstall my making an idiot of myself if I have to call the doctor (who otherwise am going to try to reach the doctor.) :smile2:
