Is this normal??

I was banded on 2/27/08 and got my 1st fill yesterday 4/2/08. They were going to give me 2 cc in a 10cc band, but when they did I couldn't swallow Water very well so I ended up only getting about 1 cc.....does this sound right for a first fill?? The Dr said my band may be a little tight still from surgery...but I just wanted to see if anyone else had anything like this??

thanks:unsure:

My friend who is 9mths post op and down over 100lbs had the same problem early on. I am not sure of the amounts put in the band however, she did have to go back and continue to have liquid removed.

That actually happened to me on my first fill (I just got my 3rd fill on Tues (4/1)). He had to take a little out (while I was still there, not later). Needless to say I think that I was just overreacting because it was a "new" feeling. When I took a drink of the Water it kinda gurgled in my chest. I think that my body just reacts quickly, both ways. It is quick to restrict, but then later I don't have any restriction.

Hope that helps.

Great to know it has happened to other people. I just hope I can stay restricted until the next fill on 4/30/08.
