I would ask your surgeon to access the port to remove fluid. Even though you haven't had any fills, we have place a small amount of fluid in the tubing of the LapBand to remove air bubbles. Infrequently, that small amount of fluid is enough to make a person too tight, and removing that fluid helps. Maxxie,

I strongly suggest seeing your Lap Band doctor. They might want to get an Xray swallow study to see how tight you are, or they might want to take a little fluid out of your band to see if that helps. See your doctor! Misty,

It's not a big deal. Get better and then the fluid can be put back in. You probably don't need much out. Talk to your doctor. I would consider getting some fluid out. It’s not a big deal.

I had some fluid removed in November because of this and felt better at once. However, now that allergy season is here in arizona with the accompaning PND and mucous production i am burping up a storm. doesn't matter what i eat or drink and it is driving me crazy. i am taking mucsinex 1200 2 x a day and have put myself on a liquid diet to soothe the irritation in my esphogeous. is there anything else i can do other than get more fluid removed? i had my surgery in 7/09. very happy with the results. i got sick in mid 2010 with flu and after recovery experienced severe acid reflux, burping and regurgitation.

I had my lapband on Nov 16,2009- i have lost 100 on my own prior to my lapband, and after the lapband ive lost 46 lbs. i am so happy with the results, but on my last feel, i decided to exprerience the full feel of 6cc's.. i hardly eat anything, an you are right... i never enjoyed much mashed potatoes and ice cream, however there is then only thing it goes down without hurting too much...I will never ask for the "maximum feel agin... it is worthed to lose little by little than this fast>>> after all, why the rush???? I am not exercizing as i SHOULD, BUT I AM GOING TOO.having the band too tight is not worthed, since we have no choices but to choose the wrong food.... Hi!
