First fill, burping water, Unfill?

Okay, so I had my first fill yesterday. My doc is leaving town for an extended vacation and he said that if I have any reflux or nausea, I should call them asap today. Well, yesterday, I was drinking tea and burped it up. I feel like there is this tight thing in my chest. I didn't eat dinner, but did eat a small portion of ice cream (bad, I know...but we were at a restaurant and they had NO soups!...excuses, excuses...). The ice cream was okay. But this morning, I had one of those danactive drinkable thingees, which is about the size of a shot glass. I feel nauseated, a little slimy and really tight. I've called the doc's office, but I am wondering if I am just having to get used to the feeling or if I need to have a little taken out. He only put 1.5cc's in my band yesterday. I feel a real difference though.

Am I being a wimp or is this abnormal? :smile:

I wish I had an answer for you. When I went for my first fill and drank the Water the Dr asked how it felt and the only thing I could tell is that I felt it stop part way down then a gas/air bubble come up and the water go down. It felt like htat every time even the last time when I finally said fine. Now one week later I've feeling soe restriction but able to eat mor then the 1/4 or 1/2 cup wwe are suppose to but still not as much as I used to.

Hey JayTee, thanks for your reply. I talked to the nurse on Friday and actually started feeling a little better. I guess that it's just going to feel strange after a fill and I just have to get used to it. I went to a party last night and ate about a cup of food, but it all went down. I do have to chew, chew, chew though or it hurts like hell. It's all good and I'm a wimp I suppose. I just hate nausea with a passion!!! The other thing I discovered is that I do not do well at all on Clear Liquids. I get really sick to my stomach and dizzy. Once I add solids back into my diet, the nausea disappears and I feel normal. Ah well, thanks for listening....

With all the typos I'm suprised you could make sense out of my post.
