I had my first fill last week and also had 3CC's. PA said not to expect much restriction till at least the third fill. Was pretty disaapointed to hear that. On the good side my acid reflux is finally getting better. Terri

Great news, my band is in place. What a scare. Changed antiacids, taking tiny bites and chewing and chewing my food and didn't have any coffee today. Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Terri

Last week I started taking pepcid complete chewables. I have noticed my heartburn is better, but still there. I have been nervous about this the whole time since the Doc told me heartburn is rare.
Yes, let me know what they say and good luck!

Hi, first 2 days after surgery they removed all the excess liquid from the band because of heartburn. Today they said eat very slow, take tiny bites, don't miss a meal, take Prilosic daily and zantac for breakthrough pain. Will have to see what the test shows and sure hope there is nothing there. I wish I would have kept calling back to tell them the heartburn was still there. When I find out whats up will email you. Best of luck to you are you taking anything for the heartburn?

Went for my first fill today and they said they couldn't do it, have to much heartburn. They still gave me a Novacaine and inserted the syringe into the Port to make sure it was empty. It was, so tomorrow have to have the Upper GI test. Worst case scenario the band has slipped and will have to repeat the surgery. Oh please no. Terri

I am also having a terrible time with nausea and I was at the clinic today. They said it was the start of dehydration, have to drink more. How can I drink more when it makes me nauceous(sp) Terri

The thought of real food makes me want to get sick. At this point I can't even imagine eating. If i'm this sore with just liquids what would it be like with real food. Terri

I went to work today was a little tired but overall felt pretty darn good. Go in for my one week checkup tomorrow and should be able to start full liquids. But at this point any kind of food turns my stomach. Terri

Good luck for those getting banded tomorrow and Tuesday Terri
-
I was banded on the first and today showered, dressed and went Christmas shopping with dh. My stomach is making great rumbling sounds but way to much pressure to drink much of anything. I have also found that I can tolerate warm beverages much better then cold. Also gave in and took something for the horrible acid reflux pains and feel so much better. It's been 7 days of clear liquids now so not a lot of energy. Can't wait for Tuesday when I see the doc and hopefully get the ok for tomato soup and cream of wheat cereal. We are strong we can do this. Terri
