fill question

[LauraG. 0]

I've read on here that sometimes you can't even swallow your own saliva, I guess because you are so restricted. I have not been banded yet and I am just wondering how that happens. What happens that you wouldn't know you are too restricted before you leave the fill visit?

Thanks , Laura

Laura,

I don't think that is the norm with regards to being so restricted you cannot swallow your own saliva. My doctor has me drink about 4 oz of Water before I leave his office after a fill, to make sure I am not overly restricted.

Laura, typically doctors fill you really slow. You should be fine. In fact, it may take several fills before you feel the right restriction. Julie
