Pain/Restriction after first fill 3.15.10
I had my Realize band surgery on 2.15.10 in Little Rock, Ar, Baptist Hospital. I felt great the following weeks, eating according to the plan given to me. Last Monda (3.15) I had my first fill of 4CC. On Wednesday I began experiencing pain in the port area if I move a certain way or take in a deep breath. I can't sleep on my left side either cause it hurts.
Then yesterday I began to feel really restricted. It took me over an hour to drink a protein drink. I had trouble eating 1/4 cup cottage cheese. And last night's supper came back up.
Today I went back to liquids. I think it takes too long to go down. I had soup and could eat only about 1-1/2 T and could feel it coming back up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away? Or is it a sympton of a greater problem?
Thanks.

I had my first 4 cc fill last week and I have not experienced anything like what you're experiencing. I strongly suggest you call your surgeon's office and tell them what's going on.
Let us know what they say.

My Advice -- get off the board and CALL YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY !!
I am not scaring you, but it's best to ask your Doctor. They would know.
IMHO sounds like you're too restricted, and need some taken out - however I could be wrong.
