I was banded April 4. I have had 2 fills since surgery. I am on vacation and having a hard time with food its not making me sick it just hurts soft foods and more than a sip of liquids. What can I do?

assuming you didn't very recently have a fill.... did you fly? i've read on here that some folks experience some tightness with their band after flying... and it sounds like it does eventually go away.

No its been a month since my last fill and no I didn't fly we just came to beach

Vacations usually come with the high sodium servings of everything. This can cause the lining in your stomach to swell just a little and of course, there's the TOM if you're a gal? But, sodium and processed carbs can make you swell up. How about rings on your fingers? Any swelling?

If swelling's not the reason, you might have something stuck in your stoma that is block food and fluids? I almost swallowed a cherry pit yesterday. Whew, that could be one really bad stuck episode.

Good luck!
