This is unbealieavable,,,, i am so worried about that troat thing? i am trowing up almost everyday like its in my pouch and all of a sudden it just comes back up or i feel it get stuck or the slime i spit out. My thoart is starting to hurt me also! I dont have any pain in my arm or my neck but it does hurt. I am so scared of this surgery,,, i hope to GOD i didn't do the wrong thing. I wieght 215 on aug 1st 20111 and i now wieght 198 or 200 and its oc /24 i should have losed alot of weight by now!!! I had 2 real fills so far,, i am now 3.8cc and nex fill is nov 6th. Does anyone think i got over filled already or am i just eating the wrong things. I cannot keep throwing up like this every day and sometimes at every meal.. I dont want to live like this will it get better!? I am going to take the advice of not eating any thing anymore today,, since all i did so far was trow up! Does anyone have any advice for me. Please let me know what to do.. Thanks,, patti

. I was filled so far with 3.8cc i believe this is realy my second fill, surgery was on aug 1st this year,, and i only lost 15pds, and i am getting so pissed. I throw up alot,, just burbing throw up,,, but i am still hungrey and then i try to eat again right away... I realy dont understand this surgery at all. I just want to eat my three meals and stop,, i cant eat some things one day and then the next i can eat it? I' am always hungry but dont no what to eat when i'm starving,,, i always get sick a little but it doesnt take my hunger away.. When the hell am i gonna lose weight. Help!!!!

I was banded July 26th (this year) and since then have had one small fill during surgery and 3 since. Although the fills I get seem to help curb my apetite for a couple weeks I'm still not in the green zone. I don't feel 'full'. I can eat anything as if I have no restrictions what so ever. I'm losing weight just fine due to eating alot healthier and excercise but I'm looking for the 'restriction' and for the hungies to go away for longer than only a couple of weeks. My doctor (or his help) keep scheduling me for every 4 weeks (although he had me come in after 2 last time) and thats where my frustration lies. I ask them for earlier appointments (after 2 or even 3 weeks) and they say they are booked. "We can only do so many fills a day". So, my last fill was 9/28 and here we are 10/10 and I'm getting the hungries again and my appointment isn't for 2 more weeks (and 2 days - lol)

Am I being unresonable? Anyone else feeling the same frustration?

Hi there i am patty and had surgery on aug 1st and i am also in alot of pain now when i eat i think it might be from getting a fill 2 days ago? It hurts when i eat now,, terrible chest pain,, i also had pain in my stomach after surgery it started going away just about a wk ago,,, i think its just from the surgery,, i dont think you have to worry,,,

Hi All,

I'm 3 weeks post-op and was feeling much better physically about a week ago. All of a sudden now, it hurts around my abdomen when I sit down, as if something is pressing down on something. I don't think it's my port, because that is located higher than where the pain is presenting.

Anyone experience this before? Is it normal to feel better and then feel worse again? The only reason I can think of is that once I started to feel better and became more active maybe I aggravated something in there or something moved??

Not sure but feeling concern and since it's saturday I don't think calling the doctor will be much help. I don't have a fever or other symptoms.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

JoJo
