Nausea after 4th fill



Recommended Posts

Oh man...I'm nervous. I had my fourth fill on Friday afternoon. I took it easy, as usual, but decided that I was going to try some crock pot

pot roast/carrots for dinner. The first bite went down fine...the second...not so much.

I slimed and threw up for about 20 minutes...still wouldn't go down. Took a walk...threw up in the bushes. Came home and took a hot shower and it finally went down.

I laid down and took a bit of a nap for a couple of hours. When I woke up I ate some cottage cheese. That went down fine and made my belly feel better. However, I have this mild churning in my stomach...like morning sickness churning. It's not anything catastrophic but I definately feel blah!

Is it normal to feel the after affects of being stuck for hours afterwards? I don't believe that I did any damage to the band...because I specifically felt the food dislodge and go through. However, I've never once been nauseous since I've been banded and it scares me.

Oh...and talk about getting to the point where you really DO have to chew more than ever. When I swallowed that second bit I knew it was going to be bad!

Talk me down!

had my 4th fill last week, Monday. i felt tight and my dr instructs his patients(after fills) to stay on liquid for 3 days (min)...follow the steps of stage 2, 3 and 4 (real food) gradually. Look like you are progressing well. I have been banded since Feb 08 and have lost 45lbs so you are doing better than me on the this train ride. Keep up the good job !

Happy me !

hi i had my 2nd fill on monday and it was fine, although for my first fill i think i was more nervous than when i went in for the surgery! i dont know why, i suppose a mixture of bits i had read here and fear of unknown, it did take me a week or so to adjust to the band fill and lost 8lbs in the process (i was too scared after a stuck episode plus on holiday and didnt want anything embaressing happening!) this time much easier do have restriction, but i also get that sicky feeling, last time i did pregnancy test because i was so concerned! but it also happened this time and lasts a couple of days with me, so dont worry it all sounds normal to me:smile2:

Don't be scared..if you follow instructions you will be fine. Most doctors tell you to be on a liquid diet only for a minimum of 24 hours after a fill. Most say three to four days.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
