1st fill experience - is this normal?
Hi everyone! I am an unusual case as I have the Realize -C band over my Gastric by-pass due to enlarging of my stoma. Anyway - I had my first fill yesterday. I swear I could feel the saline run from the port into the band. He put 3.5 cc in the band. I felt perfectly fine right after. I could drink water - no problem. Then as I started my drive home I felt a little nauseous. No problems the rest of the night with liquids. I feel just fine today. I ate some oatmeal and noticed some restriction. Its not optimal, in my opinion, but some is better than none. I have also noticed that when I had some water this morning I started burping a bit -almost like I needed to get the air out of my tummy before the water took its place. Am I normal???
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks you two!
I feel better today - a couple of days later. I can tell I have restriction already. For that I'm very thankful. I ate a little too fast last night and I had to lay down for a couple of minutes just to let things settle. Lesson learned. Fortunately no other side effects as I was pretty good at limiting the quantity.
I had been constantly hungry for over 2 years from my stoma opening up wide. Having some restriction back is the BEST!
