Tiger I do not have issues with nausea. The only time I feel it is when I eat too fast or too much. So maybe that is part of your problem.

I had my fourth fill yesterday my doctor's pa put in 2 cc's. And I did well yesterday able to drink and swollow without any issues. However I woke up at 2:30 am with gurlging noises and it didn't really hurt but it was a weird sensation. I finally after two hours got back to sleep. I got up and went to work tried to have my first coffee of the day and it came right back out. I was in pain, vomiting, and very weak. I spoke with the office staff ( they are wonderful) (since I work in the same building) and she immediately had the nurse call me she spoke with the doctor and the doctor sent his PA over to take a look at me. He removed 1 cc of the 2 cc that he placed yesterday. The whole time I was trying not to vomit. The second he removed the 1cc I felt the fluild filter through my band. As I sat up I had dizzy spells, light headness and shaking. He had the nurse take my blood pressure and it was low but ok. After having a protein shake I was back to 100%. My color was back and I felt normal. I am truely glad that my doctors staff took such great care of me. I guess what I want to get through to everyone is if you have any problems and you think it might be small call and find out do not suffer.

I never experienced the pain in the shoulder after a fill. The only time I notice a pain in my shoulder is when I have a vomitting episode. And it normally goes away in a few mins. I was banded 12/11/06. I cannot have bread/pasta/baked potatoes/rice...I gues anything that is heavy. And something that is weird if i eat potato chips I cannot have lays but I can eat ruffles. weird huh? I can however eat tortillas I wonder why you cannot eat those?
