 Got a fill yesterday.
Today the band is so tight, can just about get in water, and a few spoons of yogurt.
Will not be able to go to Dr. till Mon cause of week-end.
Any suggestions on how to maybe to get it to loosen up.

Sorry you are not feeling well. That's good you can keep down water. Something hot to drink can loosen up the band- although I have to say it never worked for me when I was too tigh****ering down protien shakes helped me get some nutrition in until I could see the doc. Hang in there- you will feel much better once you get an unfill.

warm liquids and childrens advil to help with the swelling.

Also if you have a heating pad use that across your stomach and enjoy a warm bubble bath.

Good luck!!

Careful on the Advil, not every bariatric surgeon says it's ok to take.

If it gets worse you need to call the surgeon.  You don't want to get dehydrated.  Every surgeon should have an on call service that you get a hold of. 

I have never been that tight and fluids have always gone right on through.  Sorry you are having trouble.

 Thanks for all your replies and support.
I just drank some hot decaf tea. I hope it stays down.
I will try the heating pad.
Hoping tomorrow it might be better.
Thanks again.
