I was banded this Monday @ 8 am and was not allowed to drink anything until after 3pm the next day. Let me tell u that sucked !!!! But I was told it was cuz I had to wait for a fluoroscopic swallow test and get the ok from my Doc. I was not a happy camper. The stuff the make u drink is horrible. But now that I can drink I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in. Go figure lol! Hope all is going well for u.:)

I got a xray the day after my surgery, i also had to drink a barium drink while they xrayed me to make sure Fluid was passing through my band well.

i as well had a swallow test the day after surgery, so on tuesday, just to ensure liquids were going down as intended. Im still very gassy and bloated and can only drink a couple drinks before i feel like my stomach is going to explode. probably the inflammation. anyhoo, i have been struggling as well to get all my liquids in I need. but im sipping throughout the day here and there. I am still so very sore especially where my port is.

I just had my surgery done on Tues the 16th. I dont think they did any kind of xrays, but I dont know for sure. I heard they do the fluorscopy at the first fill. How are the rest of you feeling? I could not sleep lying down, had to sit up in the recliner. I have alot of pain in my neck and shoulders, like a truck hit me! The incisions arent too bad, but I also had a hiatal hernia fixed during the band surgery so I think thats why I'm in so much pain!

Not all doctors routinely do an xray or a barium s x-ray, so I would not worry. I did not have one either. If they feel there is a problem they may do one but I am sure everything went fine.
