Hi, I had a fill on Wednesday, I am still on liquids. Try liquids for at least aday to calm your tube and tummy down. You may be a bit to filled. See what happens after the liquids for a day or so. If you still can't keep anything down, call your surgeon for a slight unfill! Good luck, Karen

Since you allready are bringing up whatever you eat, your swollen on top of the fill. Not Good !

So you should go back to liquids for about 3 days, then mushies for 2 days, then try food.

If you don't follow a plan, and you get stuck again. You have to start all over again from scratch.

That's the way we do it where I get my fills at.

Were you told by dr to do liquids after fill?

  1. I am always told 2 days of liquids then mushies then solids.
  2. If it doesn't work call dr for unfill

Do liquids for a few days but don't wait 3 weeks if you are not better!

Vomiting a lot! Can and from what I've read is the most common cause for your band to slip. I have read a lot about starting over after a fill for a few days to give band time to settle and decrease swelling.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
