: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!

      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.
