Water, juice, Soup everything was coming up. then i started vomiting even when i hadnt had anything else to drink... i was bringing up saliva was so gross. I couldnt hold my heart tablet down or anything. so i rang the doc and i went straight in. he took out 1 ml. and im all good. i can hold down water. i just had some soup and its still down. yay thanks for the replies..

Hey all, i just had my second fill today. I had 3ml put in so now i have a total of 8ml in a 12ml band. since i have had it i have this oddness in my stomach and chest.. its like the Water got stuck.. and even when i dont drink anything i feel like im going to throw up like there is something there to throw up. it reminds me of when something gets stuck. Just then i drank a few sips of apple juice and it all just came straight back up.. i drank it slowly and in small sips but it didnt matter.. is this normal? am i just going thru a getting used to it being so full kinda thing??

Hey Tas well my op was 2 weeks yesterday and i feel really good. i hardly get any pain at all only where my port is when i lean forward very quickly. im not working at the moment so i didnt have to take any time off. but the work i did do was really strenuous and hard on the body and i dont think i would of quite been ready to go back just yet tho. I also have other health factors that make my recovery a little worse then others. what kind of work do you do? where about in perth are you? I had 2 weeks of fluids. off them yesterday.

thanks for the welcomes everyone!!

Hey Tas how ya going? I was banded by dolan nearly 2 weeks ago. i to was like you scared, and nervous lol but dolan is awesome. he made me feel so much at ease. i to like you had my appointment and then didnt see him again till after the op. well actually right before the operation happened and he was still smiling and laughing. he is an awesome doctor and would recommend him to anyone. He will come see you the morning after the operation and make sur eyour ok i was already up and showered and dressed by the time he came in. lol and he took one look at me and went right your ok to go home then lol. i had no issues. the night after the op i was up around 20 times i think going to the toilet.. stoopid drip thing they put in i couldnt hold it. no lie every 1.5 hours i was at the toilet. so they knew i was good to walk around etc. the barium swallow test.... i really dont know what to tell you apart from omg it is disgusting. lmao but it is needed. and it doesnt take long. If you feel sick tho just tell them. when i laid down on the mri scan i had to sit back up i thought i was going to bring it all back up lol. after that i had some clear Soup and Water and some other stuff and a few hours later i was on my way home yay. i have rang him a few times with question etc and he has been great. i dont know anyone that has had it done so i had noone to refer to. where as now i do. any other questions feel free to pm me. glengarry is a nice hospital. been there. wat day is your op? friday mornings there are kids everywhere....
