It may be too tight. However if you have not had a fill in a good long while you will have some swelling for a few days. My doc says that if you swallow the Water and it just sits there before going down then you are swollen, but if the water comes right back up then to come in a see him. Thank goodness that has only happened to me once. Good Luck and just take it slow.

I just had a fill on March 16th and I couldn't keep fluids down either. I called the next day and they said to come in ASAP because my band was too tight. I would get in as soon as possible. You must be dehydrated by now. It only took me one day to become dehydrated because I couldn't keep Fluid down either. Good Luck :thumbup:

I had my last fill about a month ago and all has been fine until this past week. I stupidly tried to swallow an Iron pill and it got stuck. I was able to get it out, but since then, I know I've caused swelling around my band, because I can't keep Water down. Does anyone know how long this will last? I will have to call the Dr if it doesn't subside soon.. I love my water!

(I was banded in Sept 08 and have lost 62 lbs so far.. )

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
