CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted December 20, 2012 You should never vomit from a fill. The doctor will insert a needle into your port and add Fluid to the band. He will then ask you to drink some Water to ensure it passes freely. He may ask you to eat a cracker as well. Depending on your feedback about what you feel in your band, your are either done or they will remove a small amount. Most doctors ask that you go back to liquids for 24 hours before returning to solid food. Some add a second day of soft food or mushies. Then you go back to what you were eating, carefully focusing on small bites and chewing very carefully. Sip liquids slowly don't guzzle. That's it. You should feel extra restriction as you eat after that. 3 LadyLeigh2012, **IP~LB** and ♕ajtexas♕ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose1966 396 Posted December 20, 2012 If you go by my experience after a first fill you should expect nothing to change, after the second full, nothing changed and after the 3rd fill, nothing changed. You should never expect to vomit, that can be real bad. After each fill I have to be on liquids for 24hrs, mushies for 36hrs. There is no pain (or shouldn't be) and you need to continue to chew, take small portions and bites and hope for restriction. I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Good luck.

zinhaa 363 Posted December 20, 2012 It felt like a pin prick. If you vomit you need a slight unfill. Fills should never cause you to vomit!! Wendy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Blue 42 Posted December 20, 2012 I didn't vomit. The numbing medicine stung but I didn't feel the fill needle at all. I did feel a neat sensation in my band, like a little hug or squeeze as the Fluid went in. Afterwards I felt a little tight but that's it. Easy!! http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cromanow 5 Posted December 21, 2012 I have had two fills and neither time I wanted to vomit. However, I am one of those lucky devils whose port turned just slightly. What does this mean? It means that they have a devil of a time accessing my port to fill it. This entails multiple tries and a little bit of pain. It was nothing my doc did wrong, it's Just the way my body healed. I'm sure it's all worth it, it just doesn't feel like it at the time, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
