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.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
