postop liquids

[ackovach]

Hi everyone,

Can I hurt my band by having too much broth or liquids? I don't feel full while drinking, but later I get a really full feeling. Can that damage my band or make it slip? Did anyone experience the same thing?

Drink as much as you like as it just runs right through the band, no harm done for sure. Your old stomach gets full of liquid as you drink more and more so you naturally become "full" from the liquids in your stomach. This is also normal.

Hang in there on those liquids!!
