Stomach Pain!!

[Rosie3 1]

4 weeks after my surgery I got my first fill 4cc, 3 weeks after I started to vomit but really light nothing big as I went the following week to the dr he filled me with 2cc's more, I have a total of 6cc. The next follow up he did not fill me due to my minor symptoms but now it's horrible I have a pain in my stomach all day after I eat, no matter if it's mashed potatoes to fish. Oh and I vomit everything even Water. I also now have acid reflux even if I don't eat, I have them. Has anyone experienced this?

Hey Rosie,

You def sound like you're too tight. From experience it seems like your doctor put way too many cc's in, in such a short amount of time. It took me about 6 months to build up to where you are, and I thought that was rough. The reason I say you're too tight>> you can't even keep down Water. What I've noticed is when you get stuck a couple times when eating, it makes your stomach expand (swell) inside your band. Kind of makes the band seem tighter than what it is. Like it's irritated or something. This causes you to get stuck much more until you allow the swelling to go down. Eating yogurts or doubling up on my Protein shakes helps me get back to normal. These aren't proven facts, just my thoughts. I was banded 2/16/11 so I'm accustomed to my body and my band. Normally after a fill it takes about 2 weeks to get the full affect of the fill. I've had to go back to get an un-fill because my doctor put too much in. As far as the acid reflux.... I'm completely with you 10000%. I have severe acid reflux now since getting my band. Throwing up will cause/ make it worse! I take Ranitidine over the counter meds every day... it helps a tun!!!! Good luck and keep your heap up! The first 8 months were prob the hardest for me! So many changes in my body and my emotions and they weren't all good.

I think you need to check with your doctor. My fills were gradual. This may be too tight for you.
