Question about fills

[Glo]

:rolleyes:

Oops--I dropped that last one. I just need some advice. I got a fill yesterday. Each time I swallow something--just liquids right now--I have a little burp. Does that sound like a common experience? Am I taking too large of a sip?

Taking smaller bites, sips...eating SLOWLY...not drinking with meals...these have been my biggest challenges since banding.

Every time I eat, I burp. I'm no band expert, but I think that is very normal? I believe it's just your intake (whether liquid or solid) making it's way through your band and pushing air sitting in your lower stomach up through your band. I've burped more, and louder/deeper with each fill ... maybe because the opening through which the air is moving is getting smaller each time?

Yup, smaller sips, glo. Welcome to restriction! Now is the time to be super duper careful till you see what this fill will do for you. Don't PB! You'll spoil it and need an unfill! Think post-surgery sips and take it slow. :)

Thanks. I must have really been a big gulper :) No...I know I was. I took big bites too. I ate too fast--all of that!

Thanks! See you Saturday!

I take big gulps but I swallow smaller portions of that gulp if that make sense. Like 1 sip will take me 3 swallow.

Dianne, how do you do that without swallowing air? I have tried that because I am so used to gulping, but I just end up swallowing air and it makes things worse!
