Warning to everyone

[Band-aided 0]

This isn't really a complication it was something I experienced and wanted to share to make sure knowone else goes through the same!

I went for my first fill after 6 weeks, I'd had know problems, all was looking good. I 'd dropped weight pre/post op and was quite happily eating most things before my fill. I got 5cc filled in a 9cc band but at the clinic found that was tight so dropped to 4cc. I stayed on liquids that day and the next stared to try things out. I had oatmeal for breakie, hard to get down! I had cottage chesse for lunch, hard to get down! I then took the kids to the mall after a couple of hours realised I was starving so I bought and ate a protien bar, WRONGO!!!!!!! OMG! To describe the next 6 hours would take me all day. Pain in my chest, like PAIN! slime, vomitting for 6 hours no word of a lie! I called my clinic who said I'd got a blockage and vomitting would bring it up. I was just heading out to the hospital when I had one last chuck and it seemed to clear and I fell asleep exhusted! I took my self off to the clinic next mornning for 8am and got defilled to 1.5cc. My warning is, please realise that when you have a fill, it completely changes the bands effects I'd got quite confident in eating what I wanted again, and thought a little bit of Fluid in my band wasn't going to change that much really! Stupid I know! also chew, chew chew!!!!! and slow down. Stop after 3 bites and go to the washroom to check you're not full by the time you come back you'll know if it's time to stop eating! I don't want anyone to experience what happened to me it was scarey and very painful.

Thanks for the word of warning, I am 24 hours post fill that should finally give me restriction, and I will remember your word of caution.
