I just got a fill this morning and am at 9.5cc's. I stayed in the office and drank a glass of Water and it stayed down. Now 7 hours later my water keeps coming up. Even the coffee I drank 12 hours ago before the fill is coming up. I am sipping now. Is it that I was drinking too fast? Is this normal right after a fill when I am swollen? I have not had any other liquids today so I have had no nutrition. I am in bed because I am so tired which I think is from low blood sugar. I will sip some chicken broth later for nutrition. I am a little hungry. I have not walked today but after I drink water I have been getting up and walking around the house hoping the water will stay down. Needing your responses! Thanks

Please note my answer is only based on what MY doctor told ME. He told me if I can't keep liquids down the day of the fill, come right back in (for an unfill) because it won't get better on its own. Give your doctor a call before the long weekend and at least give him a heads up. Good luck!

you are swollen. you can't go without fluids. call your doctor and have a slight unfill. this can be dangerous. call your er or go to the one your doctor has priviledges at . most er's don't know anything about bands. hope you feel better soon

Hi there, I hope things are settling down and you're able to drink -- sometimes things of a different temperature work well. You might want to try Popsicles as the cold will help with the inflammation and you'll be getting some hydration along with sugar. Or on the other end of the spectrum warm tea. Be sure to be in touch with your medical professionals but it may be that you are swallowing fine now. I hope so! Sending best wishes your way.

Thin fluids should go through your band rather quickly. If it don't, you're too tight whether it be swelling or too much Fluid

I did go back to the doctor yesterday. From Thursday morning until Saturday morning I was miserable and very weak. Things did not get better and I was throwing up all liquids. The doctor took out .5cc's so I think I am at 9cc's in a 10cc band. I am enjoying drinking and had some chicken noodle Soup last night. The misery that I felt gives me motivation to make this band work. Surgery was tough as was the recovery so I remember all these difficult steps as motivators to win this obesity battle. I will win. I walked today twice because I felt good enough to.All your comments really help me so thanks all you out there.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
