I had my lapband surgery February 17, 2010. I have now lost 61 pounds and very happy. I still have 67 pounds to go to be at my goal weight. It seems every time I go for a fill I end of very sick. My band holds 11 cc's. I am now at 4.5 cc's. I went in August and had 1CC put in. I had to go back both Saturday and Sunday and have it removed. I was throwing up every 15 minutes then once he removed some on Saturday I would throw up every hour. Then on Sunday he took it out. I just went back again on Monday, January 17, 2011 for a fill. He only put in .5 cc's. At his office a drank a half bottle of water and was fine. I went home and was fine until later that night. Could not eat soup. On Tuesday every hour I was throwing up again. Went back on Wednesday and doctor removed what he put in and stated that I was swollen. I drank some water in his office. It is now Monday and I can only get a little bit of water in me. All I have eaten this week was 3 raviolos. I have tried everything from soups to ice cream and I eat two bites and either get sick or have the horrible chest pains like it is stuck. I was able to take my vitamins on Saturday but yesterday I threw them back up. I also got a full bottle of water in yesterday. I have lost 11 pounds in one week. I love losing the pounds but I don't think this is right at all. Does anyone else experience these issues? I am calling the doctor today and see if he can do an xray or something to figure out what is going on. Thank you so much for reading. Kathy
