WHAT A SCARE TODAY ,I GUE...

WHAT A SCARE TODAY ,I GUESS I AM NOT USEDTO MY FILL AND UP CAME EVERYTHING I COULDNT BREATHE I TURNED RED AND PAIN LIKE A GOLFBALL IN MY CHEST.

How scary Linda! I sure hop that never happens again. Any other lap banders have that problem? Wish I could help... Hugs Joanie

Sorry that you had to experience that, Linda. It's awful. Right after a fill some people are tighter intially than they will be in a couple of weeks. How much was your fill? I didn't feel any real restriction after my first fill but after my second there was a huge difference! I am sure you know the mantra, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew....well you get the point, lol Also, sauces and gravies to keep the protein nice and moist helps a lot. Eileen

HI JOANIE I GUESS IAM NOT USED TO BEING FILLED. ONE GIRL SAYS JUST KEEP CHEWING ON SOFTER FOODS. THANKS FOR BEING THERE WHAT AN AWFUL FEELING.HOPE ALL IS WELL YOU LOOK GREAT IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.

I know how ya feel Linda. It still feels that way if I do something too fast or forget that I have a tiny pouch instead of a regular stomach!! Funny how our "tools" work. Just take it easy. Take care, Michelle

Hi Linda, So sorry you had to expierence that terrible feeling. Hope you are feeling better real soon. Best wishes, Mary Lou

Oooh Linda, my goodness, that sounds awful! How did you relieve the pain and pressure? I don't know much about the lapband, but I know we are similiar in that you must chew a LOT and take it real slow! I hope you are feeling better! Tara

It happens to the best of us, in one form or another! Remember to take it slow and chew chew chew everything you're eating. (that's the hardest part!) take care. Lisa C
