I became very sick during the first part of the summer. This resulted in a swelling around my restriction (I had vomitted a tremendous amount of times), so I had to have an "unfill". After feeling so sick, to be honest, I was afraid to have a fill, even when I started feeling better. Long story short, I went all summer, and in so doing, I put on 10 lbs. I have now decided to "get serious" again. I went in for a fill yesterday, and today I am wondering if I made a mistake!! I feel horrible. I didn't sleep well last night, with the feeling of stomach acid in my throat. I made it to work, and got very sick expelling only bile from my stomach. Today I have sipped on 2 cups of tea, had a little Protein Drink, and have been sipping on Water. My stomach is still hurting, my head hurts - - and I feel like I have a TERRIBLE hangover!! I have been banded since 2004 and I had lost over 80 lbs. I have never felt like this before. Has anyone were gone through this? And, do I need to just hold on?:rolleyes2:

Maybe you're a bit swollen from your fill..but I'd go back to the dr. Reflux is never good sign.

You can get meds for your reflux, part of the symptoms you are having could be because of your fear of getting sick. This can cause all those symptoms, the mind is a powerful thing. Talk to your doctor and hope you feel better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
