:help: I had swelling around the band area and couldn't even get water swallowed. At first we thought it I was to tight, but that wasn't the case. By the time I could get back to the doctor I was ok, but I suffered for 4 days and had to get I.V. with fluids due to dehydration. This has happened both times and I have a 3 hr dirve to the Doctor. I am ok at first, but by the next day I cna not even keep my spit down. Someone had suggested to take a shot that would prevent inflammation/swelling (can't remember the medication they said to get). I was just curiousi f anyone else have had this problem and what they do about it.
Thanks
