Need support/advice

[bbammom 0]

I was banded just over a year ago. During that time I never felt like I was getting the right fills. Our family moved and I had to find a new doctor. He did a flouro and discovered that I had no restriction. After several agonizing weeks of phone calls and research, I found out that I was banded with a Large band, not the Standard that I had been told and was in my records. (It took me asking for my surgical records to discover this!)

Yesterday I had my first fill after receiving this information. I was getting no restriction at 9.7cc in my band so the doctor added 2cc. On the flouro, he could see that it wasn't enough restriction. He added .5cc more and that was too much. He took out 3cc which left me with 11.9cc in my 14cc band. It looked good on the flouro and felt good but within a few hours I felt really tight and haven't been able to drink comfortably since. (The fill was appx 18 hours ago.)

Am I experiencing the after-fill swelling that I've been reading about? I made the mistake of having a creamy Tomato Soup when I got home and then sipped on a milkshake but then read here that I should go with Clear Liquids so I switched. I just sipped on about a half up of chicken stock and feel a little queasy. I'm going to try making a crystal light slushie and see how that feels.

Any advice is appreciated!!
