Anyone Feel Sick After a Fill?



Recommended Posts

Hey all, it may be coincidental, but I woke up today not feeling well. Yesterday was my first fill.

I'm feeling a little dizzy and nauseous, stomach is bothering me, headachy and my bowels are a little loose (sorry)

ANyone else? Could be my CFS or Fibromyalgia flaring up.

Every single fill I have ever gotten effected my ears (it's all connected, ya know). At least the first few days I notice what feels like an earache/stopped up head flu-like thing. Then once the fill settles in it seems to go away. But I have never experienced any stomach flu symptoms. My sister in law got her feel last week and experienced extreme vertigo for the first few days as well.

Weird huh?

I have low blood pressure normally. I just read on here it can effect that, make it lower. I'll just take it easy.

You know, I PB'd (a pretty good one-Chex Mix) Wed evening so I did liquid Breakfast and soft foods yesterday. My calorie intake was barely over 1000, I didn't sleep well last night, and today I just feel yucky. This makes me wonder if a "sore" or whatever, band area, like what one might have after a fill, contributes to feeling bad.

I just feel like crap today. Maybe the PB isn't directly related, but I'm thinking it didn't help?

You may have something here, Leener. I don't think it's completely out of the question to be having trouble for a short time after a fill. Who knows?

I had a fill yesterday, and while I don't have the symptoms you describe, I just have a more fatigued feeling...

Having a fill reminds me that there is a foreign object in there, and that I am adjusting something in my body, so I ought to be nice to it for a while...and the liquid diet (I do 2 days) probably affects my energy level, too.

I sure hope you are feeling better real soon!

I've had 3 fills with no symptoms but many people have different experiences with the band so it doesn't surprise me that some people are negatively affected by a fill.

Since the subject is fills...anyone had trouble with cold stuff after a fill? Last night I had a little "golfball" feeling with a SF popsicle, and today with a fruit smoothie (made it myself, with a peach, yogurt, frozen banana, orange juice and 3 ice cubes). Maybe I'm drinking too fast...boy, what a difference in this fill!

3mls on top of 3.5 is quite a large fill. It appears that your feeling sick due too over restricted and dizzy due to either dehydration or lack of food intake. I would suggest you have a small aspiration.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
