1st fill feels funny

[wannaBLean 0]

So I don't know if this is normal or not:

I just had my first fill a couple hours ago and I just had a little bit of Protein Shake and I feel like vomiting but it went down ok. I just keep burping and I feel like I want to throw up but I tried to and couldn't.

So this is what happened- I went in and he put in 4 cc's and I couldn't drink Water so he took 1 out and that was fine but then I laid down and it started to come back up so he took it out and now I only have 2 cc's in my band. But then for a couple hours I still had that slime stuff stuck in my throat and I couldn't burp or vomit it up.

So is this stuff normal? They said at the doctor's that the slime would go away which it did but I'm not comfortable with the feel of wanting to vomit. Will that go away as I get used to the fill?

After my first fill I felt funny too. It takes a few days for the saline to settle in your band and your stomach might be a little swollen.

Rest and don't try to force yourself to eat anything. If you don't feel better after a day I would call your doc and ask for a slight unfill.

Did you find out what caused your band erosion?

I had a little trouble with my first fill too. When I drank the Water after in front of him I took a small sip and it felt like it was just sitting in my throat and you could hear it gurgle. (WEIRD FEELING) but it DID go down. I was tight for about a week and just had to be careful and remember to chew slowly, and not take too big of a bite.

My second fill, I did not notice anything until 3 days AFTER the fill and them bam, I could really tell. Its almost like a delayed effect with me.

If you still can't keep anything down and you are taking small sips, call your Dr back. You might need an unfill.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reassurance. I am able to do mushy food now but it's still taking a while to go down. But that's good news because before it was just the liquids that were causing discomfort.
