Stomach pain



Recommended Posts

I just had my 4th fill a month ago, but I still am having a problems eating slowly, so almost everyday I throw up something. I am trying not to stay in the soft food phase, but I can't even go out to eat with out having to get up and go to the restroom. I have been doing it today, I can not keep anything down and know I feel a little pain in my stomach. I don't know if I should have a little removed or try to eat slower like I should. I will do only liquids for a few days and maybe some swelling will go down if that is the problem? Has any one experienced this.

It's a really difficult question to answer because the symptoms seem to be the same for people who need an unfill to those who need to just be more careful.

If you are throwing up every day I would say that's not a good thing and you should have a little Fluid removed, even the tiniest amount can make all the difference. But of course, it's just my opinion.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

It seems that if your fill was a month ago and you are having problems everday that you probably need a tiny unfill. Not only will it make you feel better, it is probably better for your band in the long run if you dont stay too tight for so long.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to try to do the liquid thing for a while. I really think it is me because I can eat all the bad stuff like (cookies & candy) with no problem. I think I should try smaller bites and eat slower, but I can drink liquids with no problem. So I will give it a few more days and see what happens.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
