I was banded on June 22, 2011 and haven't had any problems until this month. This month I've had 2 major episodes of convulsions and all the symptoms of throwing up. The weird thing is that nothing came up. I wished it had I would have been relieved. I go on Tuesday for my second fill and I'm concerned that it will get worse with more restriction.

Has anyone else experience this?

I don't know what you mean by Convulsions ? I mean I know strait across the board what a seizure is.

I never herd this term used with the band, and I been banded 6 yrs.........

I would call the Dr. if you are having problems.

I would think twice about another fill.

I also don't know what you mean by convulsions. Are you having a seizure with the feeling of throwing up? I never heard this before either and would definately call the Dr or go to the ER with these symptons. Please explain. Thanx.

Yes I'm calling my doctor tomorrow and plus I have an appt. on Tuesday. I don't have these systems often, but they've occurred at least 3 times this month. I was thinking it was something I ate.

Sharon,

I go to the doctor on Tuesday. I'll let you know what he says. I'm suppose to get my second fill and i'm wondering if he's going to do it with the symtoms i'm having. But I'll keep you posted.

Well you know how your body reacts when you have to throw up? thats what I mean except there is nothing coming up, but yet my body is going through the motions. It's painful, my ribs are still sore today. But I'm going to my doctor on Tuesday and I'm hoping he can give me some insight.

Maybe convulsions is too strong a word. But what I meant is that i have all the symtoms of throwing up, my body is going through all the motions but nothing is coming up. My ribs are still sore today from it. But I have an appt. with my doctor on Tuesday, I will let him know what is going on with me and hopefully he will address the issue.

Glad you dont mean actual "convulsions". I've had the stuck feeling with the dry heaving also. I actually had to make myself vomit which I never did before in my life. It relieved the stuck feeling. Also papaya pills help when you get that tight stuck feeling in your upper chest.

      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.
