Swelling

I was banded in 2007.  I haven't lost as much as I hoped, but at least I'm not 245 anymore.  I was doing great and all of a sudden I started having bad acid reflux.  I went and had 1cc taken out (now at 6cc) and I can eat without food getting stuck or having any acid reflux.  The problem I have now is, I'm swollen and the top of my stomach is distended, bloated feeling.  Since the un-fill, I've gained 8 pounds and I'm sure its all water (hasn't been 2 weeks).  My legs are so swollen I can make an indention and it will stay for several minutes.  What gives?  Has anyone else experiences this??

If you look up protein deficiency this could be a possibility. Hope you feel better.

Thanks for your help! 

please consider lymphodema, ask your doctor...I have this and will be concerned about it after my surgery in a couple of weeks....Sam

Thanks, i will check into this and see if this may be part of my problem.

Good Luck!!
