odd feelings after 2nd fill

[bubz 0]

Hey all,

i just had my second fill today. I had 3ml put in so now i have a total of 8ml in a 12ml band.

since i have had it i have this oddness in my stomach and chest.. its like the Water got stuck.. and even when i dont drink anything i feel like im going to throw up like there is something there to throw up. it reminds me of when something gets stuck.

Just then i drank a few sips of apple juice and it all just came straight back up.. i drank it slowly and in small sips but it didnt matter..

is this normal? am i just going thru a getting used to it being so full kinda thing??

If you can't get fluids down, you need to call your doctor. That's too tight. You can get dehydrated pretty quickly, and you don't want that to happen.

Going from 5-8 ml in one fill is probably too much. I have a band that holds 10 cc. I first had 4 cc put in. Then 2cc. The first day of the 1st fill, I drank a little too fast and a little too much and I slimed it all up. But I learned that if I took 1 tiny sip of Water every 5 min. or so, I could keep it down. I had to do this because the first few days after a fill, your stomach is swollen from the fill. After day 3, I was able to eat and drink normally again, but got full quicker. The 2nd fill, I knew better, so I drank tiny sips every 5 min. or so again until day 2 and 3 when I began to eat normally again after the stomach swelling went down.

Be careful, though, don't let 1 day go by without being able to drink anything at all. In my opinion, you may need a slight unfill. Hope this helps you. God bless. Patty

thanks for the replies.

i rang the doc this morning as i still couldnt hold anything down. Water, juice, Soup everything was coming up. then i started vomiting even when i hadnt had anything else to drink... i was bringing up saliva was so gross. I couldnt hold my heart tablet down or anything.

so i rang the doc and i went straight in. he took out 1 ml. and im all good. i can hold down Water. i just had some Soup and its still down. yay

thanks for the replies..

Bubz, So glad you went in to get an unfill. At least now you know you are probably near your maximum tightness, since 1ml more is too much for you. I hope all the best for you. Patty
