Questions from a newly banded one

[westcoastmom 3]

I was banded about 5 weeks ago. I am very careful with what I eat and how I eat.

I was feeling like I might be having a bit of reflux. I was coughing a bit and feeling like I had to clear my through a lot. This was happening with drinking Water or eating. I had things checked out - and even though I had not had any fills yet, the fill nurse actually took out 0.6 of the 2.5 flushed through during surgery.

I was happy with this - I am not ready for fills. I want to be very conservative and not go through any difficulities that I don't have too.

This was about a week ago. I am still feeling a bit of the same in my throat. There is some very minor throat pain and it feels a little like I have post nasal drip most of the time.

Has anyone else gone through this - even prior to having any fills? I am wondering if I need to go in again to have more taken out. Or if I could still be swollen this far out from surgery?

Thanks for the help!
