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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
