I had lap band surg in Nov 05 by Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez. I went to a local KC doc for my fills. My first fill was 1.25 cc (I have the 10. Inamed band) and I seemed super tight for a few days and really tight in the a.m. So dinner was my really big meal of the day. No breakfast and a little light lunch. Then at dinner I could eat close to 1/2 of pre-band amounts. I was losing but felt discouraged as dinner was my big meal and then I would get into yogurt within one hour after dinner. So I go my 2nd adj of 1.5 and it was too tight. I swallowed the water but felt pressure. By midnight I could not even swallow my saliva. I had to get in the next day and have .5 taken out? Now I can't seem to get my proteins down but oatmeal, popcorn, soup will go down after 11 a.m. My proteins are what I need to get down!!!!!
Can any of you tell me what to expect? It is 6 months before your fill really holds you back? I know the morning tightness is common. My third fill is scheduled for March 13.
Thanks in advance for any of your replies.
