???"S ABOUT 1ST FILL

HELLO I HAD MY FIRST FILL TODAY AND MY DOC PUT 5CC IN MY 10CC BAND AT FIRST HE PUT 6 AND WATER WOULD NOT GO DOWN, WHAT DOES RESTRICTION FEEL LIKE I HAVE A FUNNY TIGHT FEELING IN MY CHEST BUT FLUIDS ARE GOING DOWN SHOULD I FEEL ANYTHING OR IS THIS NORMAL?? I AM ALMOST SCARED TO GOTO MUSHIES IN A COUPLE OF DAYS THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! I JUST GOT MY FILL 3HRS AGO

There's not many of us banders on this board.. you might want to try the lap band board http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/lapband/a,messageboard/boa rd_id,5359/ You're going to feel some swelling with your fills, that's why most dr's will have you eat light before your fill, and liquids for a couple of days after.  Sometimes my fills don't kick in for a couple of weeks.  As long as you can get fluids down, you are ok, if you get to the point of where fluids won't go down get to your dr asap and have him take out a little fill. Go into mushies gradually, it's a little scary when you first start out with a fill.   Good luck!

thank you for the tips, i did not know that i thought this was the michigan lap band board, thank you!

I so agree take it easy for a few days to you feel you can handle it and eat slow if you fell anything stop and give it a few min. before eating again. Good luck
