tztmama 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Hey fellow bandsters, I haven't been online for a couple of weeks but am having some problems. On 1/4/06 I got a fill, 2cc's. Having had little restriction, I got big restriction that has somehow become too much in the last week or so. My symptoms: I get "burpy" with even one swallow of my Protein Shake.< /p> If I take 3 swallows of Water, some of it doesn't stay down Gas x isn't helping and i have gassy pain throughout my chest and back. Feels like its in my lungs althought I know it isn't. I PB almost everytime I try to eat solids. The only thing that I got down last week was a chocolate shake.< /p> My mother passed away on the 9th of this month and we burried her yesterday. I don't know if the stress has caused my stomach to become more sensitive or if I just need to get unfilled a bit. I have finally started losing weight, 20 pounds since my fill in January so I am glad about this. Not being able to keep water down scares me though. Please give me any advice you have. Thanks in advance. Darla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCBSTX 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Darla, sometimes fills don't kick in until (you fill in the blank). It takes about a week for myself. I would go in for a slight unfill. Limited fluids makes me nervous and is very dangerous!! Shawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhotoNut 7 Posted February 19, 2006 I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Gosh that's never an easy thing to go through. My thoughts are with you. *hugs* I fully agree about getting a slight unfill. Even if it is the stress is causing the extra restriction, you need to be able to drink and get your nutrition. Don't wait around, go get some relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
