Question on the day after

[New_girl_in_town 7]

Hi, everyone. I just had surgery yesterday. I had my upper GI and the radiologist thought it might be a little tight and it HURT when I drank the contrast. Normal to have pain when u drink an ounce?

If you gulped the whole oz down in one swallow, yes that would be a little painful.

For 3 days after banding I could only do 1oz every 15mins sipping it.

It does get better quickly.

Congratulations fellow bandster!

Be sure to follow all your Drs orders.

Sounds like you tried to drink too much at once. Lap Band mantra... sip, sip, sip. The swelling goes down and you will be able to tolerate larger amounts soon. Congrats on the surgery.

Thanks, Cheznoel! Not feeling so great right now, but I'm very hopeful that this feeling will pass. I'm very encouraged by everyone's stories.

Every day you'll feel a little better, by one week you should feel pretty darn good.
