First Fill Question

[miss679 39]

Do you all have caffeine after fills? I had my first fill yesterday morning. I did receive instructions for Clear Liquids for 3 days, then onto a week of each stage that I followed post op (banded on 7/26). I'll be calling the office Monday to clarify but the only info I have received regarding caffeine (I'm talking coffee here) is to wait 4 weeks post-op due to the chance of reflux. I'm also taking a dissolvable Prevacid a day per the doctor's instructions - they do this as a precautionary measure for the first month or so. Thanks for your feedback! I'm looking forward to a caffeinated latte come Monday when I can have skim milk!

Wow you doctor is strict after a fill, but it is a very safe approach. I don't drink a lot of coffee, but I did have tea after a fill. The warm liquids help to sooth the band area.
