I have 4 years out and still vomit atleast once a week. Complained to my doctor and he "unfilled" me. Have been "unfilled" for 2 years. One bite of food and I vomit for hours. Sometimes it even happens when I just drink something.My Doctor says it's stress, or I eat to fast( one bite really?) There are times I'm hungery but have been vomiting so I'm scared to eat. Exercise almost everyday and when I can I eat pretty good. Stil no major weight loss. I think of the money spent and time devoted and think that I made a mistake.

Shhh, It sounds like you are doing great without there support. Right now this is your time, you have the support of your husband and hopefully a few good friends. Keep up the good work and be proud of yourself for what you have accomplished.

State, I noticed we were banded on the same day and you have already had a fill. I don't go in until the 28th of Nov.Thats over 7 weeks out. How long out from surgery was your fill?

The Shoulder Pain Is From The Gas They Put In To Distend Your Stomach For Surgry. If You Dont Have A Heating Pad Go Get One, It Will Be Your Best Friend. I Actually Was Sick To My Stomach From The Shoulder Pain. I Had 3 Days That I Put The Heating Pad On A Extention Cord And Walked Around With It On My Shoulder Whenever I Was Up. Lying Down Did Help But Who Wants To Do That All Day? Just Remember It Does Go Away.

When I Started My Journey(i Was Banded On 10/15/07) I Had A Friend Tell Me That I Wont Know You If Your Thin You've Always Been Big, 340 Was My Biggest. Then Another One Told Me I Wont Be The Duff(designated Ugly Fat Friend) Anymore. I Think That You Have A Cetain Image And It Scares People That Your Going To Change And Maybe Not Need Them Anymore Or Not Just Be The Friend,but Might Be Compation. I Think About Those Comments When I Need Motivation To Keep Going And Do Whats Best For Me. That's All I Can, Or You Can, Worry About. Right Now It's About Me And What I Need To Do.

I Was Told No Carbonation, Soda, Beer, So On. It Can Give You Hard Core Gas Pains.

The Heating Pad Became My Best Friend. I Actually Woke Up Crying And Sick From The Pain. Just Keep Walking And Keep The Heating Pad Close.

I Had My Surgery On 10/15. I Feel Like You Do. My Blood Preesure Dropped To 72/46 And The Nursing Staff Panicked. They Came In Every 15 Mins To Check It. I Alsmost Ended Up Staying Another Night Also. I Think I Drink Enough Water, But Have To Choke Down The Shakes. If You Find Something That Helps You Feel Better Let Me Know.

I JUST GOT BANDED ON THE 15th AND I HAVE THE SAME SENSATIONS.WALKING HELPS A LITTLE,BUT NOT MUCH. I WAS HOPING IT WOULD JUST GO AWAY.
