Hi, my name is Jess. I had my surgery a year ago tomorrow!!! I have done way more than I thought possible! However, on thursday I had my fill. I now have 5.5 ccs but am having a major problem! I can not seem to keep down any liquids or anything! I am also somewhat swollen slightly to the right of my band. The dr is closed until monday and I am totally scared of becoming dehydrated. suggestions please????

Try taking slow sips of a hot tea. Warm liquids can relax the band.

If that doesn't work call your doctors office and see if they have a 24 hour emergeny help line.

I love your saying Mariasha! It's nice to see that there is hope for me. Looking at the comments made about successful weight loss makes me hopefull. Good luck to you all and keep up the great work. My surgery will be on December 30,2010 and I can't wait or should I spell it "weight" for the date.

Make sure the tea has no caffeine.
