:tongue_smilie:Hello everyone. I had my first fill on 3/5/08. No issues..I even have some restriction then on Monday evening I started to feel very sick to my stomach. It is kinda like a roller coaster one second I am fine the next I am sick to my stomach. I spoke to my nurse and she stated that if I am drinking and eating without any issues she does not feel that it is an issue with my band. I just don't know and I hate this feeling.

Any suggestions would be great!

It could be that your lower part of your stomach is empty and the gastric juices are built up - I would try some antacid myself and see if that helps.

I was banded on 3/7/08 and have experienced a lot of nausea especially in the morning and in the night if I wake up. I found if I can force myself to eat something it goes away pretty quickly. Good luck.

When you say sick to your stomach, Are you vomiting? I had my first fill about 8 weeks ago and the first 5 weeks, I vomited many times. I was okay with very soft foods but I had a problem with most solids. Apparently my band was too tight and they had to withdraw 1/4 of a cc. If you are vomiting, call your doctor, too much vomiting can lead to band slippage.

Good Luck.

No vomiting. Just nausea. It off and on all day long. I go back to the doctor today and I hope that he will replace the fill that he took out. Because I can really tell that I can eat normal size portions and that scares me. I have heard that some people go thru this with weight loss surgery. I just hope that it ends soon. Thank you everyone ... it's nice to know that I am not alone!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
