I had my band done in Mexico two years ago.I went to get my first fill and the port and flipped so no fill. Anyway i wasn't able to go back and have it fixed until yesterday. Two years with the band and finally port fixed and my first fill. I was able to drink water and the dr. office but that evening at the airport I was unable to. Today I have been trying to drink and one time it goes down the next it gets stuck. Do you have more restriction at different times of day?

I have gotten down more fluids today. I always thought that you had to have several fills to have restriction. I just hope it lasts I really want to get this weight off but I do want to be able to drink. I live so far away from any dr. so I really hope that I do not need any out. Thanks for all the concern.

Thanks alot I tried some warm broth and walked at the same time and it went down. It was weird because at the dr. I drank almost a whole bottle of water than I get home and nothing was going down but the warm liquid worked. I am a little scared to try anything else. :confused:

I wish you the best of luck hopefully the x-ray will do the trick. I am leaving for the airport in a few hours to get my port fixed and finally my first fill.

Your not alone I am real sorry. I had mine done in Mexico and went to have fill. After three people trying no good. Found out one side of port came loose and the needle just pushed it away. I was very bummed and decided not to get a fill for two years. I can't do it I have not lost any weight and I fell bad. I am going to mexico on 9th to have fixed and finally a fill. Hope every thing is still ok. Any find out what is going on and get a fill you did the lap band for a reason use it. I wish you lots of luck
