I had a fill last Thursday 3/23/12, as required I drank water before leaving the office, and was fine. Later that night I ate broth,and drank fruit juice and was fine. The next morning I began vomiting everything, water, juice, and soup, not stop, Today I called my doctor's office, and told them what was going on, and the gave me an appointment for 3/30/12. The problem with this is that I have lost 14 pounds since Thursday, I can't hold anything down, I have headaches, i feel feverish, and I'm dizzy. To put it bluntly if I don't get water down like yesterday, I dont' feel like imma make it til Friday. Does anyone know any tricks, I tried drinking tea as hot as possible, didn't work. The hopsitals will not touch a band, I guess because that is not their area of expertise. I tried a heating pad, drinking a diet soda. I'm getting scared and desperate.

The fills at my office would be $300. I just switched toBCBS of NJ. I just assumed that the fills were covered. Guess I will find out soon

I'm in 20 punds by Valentine's Day

Breakfast proteint shake with various fruits, and coffee midmorning. Lunches: It's ususally grilled, or baked fish, or some veg dish with tofu. I eat rice, and mashed potatoes. I personally cannot tolerate chicken, and I do not eat prok and beef. Dinners: I keep dinners light as I am very sedimentary after work. Salads, sardines, protein shakes

Trust me!! Keep it at the .5 increments. If you need to go back every 4 weeks than you should go back, but it is not a good feeling to be overfilled

lol. too funny. I have to find a name for mine's. It has to be something that fits a tempermental female.

Everything except the vomiting sounds normal in my opinon. I would also suggest you check with the doctor. Since they do not place any fluid in the band after the surgery, I think you should just be feeling gas discomfort, and some pain as the band settles.

How does it feel is it painful. I had most of my fluid removed in July because I got a small fill, a month before, and nothing was staying down, incl water. I just got a small one put back in on Friday, and it's the same thing, Most of the time I cannot hold water. I am wondering if this comes from a port being flipped.

I agree with Melinco, I have found that all the frozen meal brands have a high sodium content, and I am also prone to retain water once I eat them.

Tofu is really not bad, and it is very high in protein. Salmon, tuna, and sardines are some of the higher grams of protein also. I wouldn't eat a whole lot of tuna though because of the Mercury.
