What should I expect after a gastric band fill?

After a gastric band fill, you will usually start with fluids for around 24 hours, then move on to soft foods before returning to a normal, healthy diet. This gradual progression allows swelling around the band to settle and helps you adjust to the change in restriction.

When might I need an emergency gastric band de-fill?

You may need an emergency de-fill if your band feels too tight, you are struggling to swallow fluids, are vomiting regularly or experiencing severe night-time coughing and reflux. In these situations, a rapid de-fill can relieve symptoms and protect your long-term health.

Can you look after patients who had surgery abroad?

Yes. Gastric Band Support & Aftercare regularly supports patients who had their band fitted abroad by offering safe adjustments, de-fills and ongoing aftercare, with plenty of time in each appointment to review your history and current issues.

How long are appointments for band adjustments?

Band adjustment appointments are typically at least 30 minutes long, allowing time for a medical assessment, discussion of your progress and a carefully planned adjustment tailored to your needs.
