Hi all,
I'm relatively new to all this and am still trying to work out what is "normal" for me in relation to how my body works now when I swallow food.
I had my second fill (total in band now 2mL) on Thursday just gone, and on the nurses advice I am supposed to go back on soft foods for two days after my fill.
Here I am now 4 days since the fill and have moved back to solid food (although I still keep it on the softer side), I still find that 3 or 4 bites of food is causing pain in my back. Last night I didn't recognise it for what it was (first time I experienced it) and had about an hour of bringing up very frothy saliva. The saliva only stopped when the pain went away.
Tonight I again experienced the pain but stopped eating straight away. Now the pain has gone, and I have not brought any saliva up, but have also only had two bites of food for dinner.
So, form all the experienced banders out there, I need to know whether the general consensus is that I need to go back and have some fill taken out? I mean I know that we all are supposed to be eating less with our bands, but I would think that after two fills only, and so much pain when I eat more than two bites, that can't be quite what my surgeon would be wanting me to experience, is it?
All advice appreciated.
Mandy
