Hey fellow Bandsters! :wink:

I was banded Dec. 22, 2009. My first fill was Jan. 18. Friday nite I was a little ill and almost vomited... just kinda heaved a couple of times and that was it. Was fine Sat. and Sunday. Yesterday I kind of felt I might have overeaten a bit.

Today I woke up feeling a little discomfort where I think my pouch may be? Almost like I just didn't feel hungry... like eating at my usual time, yet my stomach was growling. I eventually did eat and everything went down fine but I still have some discomfort. Is this normal? Or did I do something wrong? :eek:

How did you make out? I was banded 05/05/09 and I am experiencing the same symptoms?

I'm still having it. =( I wonder if I have some food stuck and it just needs to be worked out? I hope? It takes much less to get me full all of a sudden and I really am not hungry, yet there is still a little discomfort. Nothing that keeps me up at night or anything?

Haven't called anyone just yet. Thought if I was still having it by Friday I would call. I will let you know. =)

Mine started last Wednesday after a full day of vomiting. I can keep food down but I don't feel the same restriction like before. I have a call into my doctor so I can go get this checked out. I will let you know. Chances are with you that you do not have food stuck or you would be trying to throw it up.

Since we don't know what you ate, it's hard to say. Could have been the food, too big bites, or just generally too much.

As for the mornings, I have the same problem of being very hungry but unable to eat anything. It's vey common to be tight in the morning and to loosen up as the day goes on. It's because you become slightly dehydrated while you are sleeping. Try drinking a shake for Breakfast instead of real food, or a cup of hot liquid when you first get up and then wait an hour or two to munch.

I haven't had any vomiting... I did 'heave' a few times Friday nite, but I didn't have any problems until Sunday.

I don't think I have anything 'stuck' like STUCK... but I think maybe there is a piece of food in there that isn't able to even get 'stuck'... I'm not sure? Like maybe not chewed enough. But whatever is going on, it is still happening today. I don't even want to eat anything. Even if I were hungry. =(

Good luck! Hope it's nothing serious!

Maybe you just have a little unrelated stomach bug....I hope you get to feeling better.

I just got off the phone with my doctor and he said that it probably is due to either sleeping on the port sight or you may have irritated the area from vomiting. He told me to take 400mg of Ibuprofen for 3 days every 8 hours. Because I can still eat and drink and not vomit, chances are that nothing is "stuck" or out of wack.

That makes sense. I'm always rolling over on my port site. And it hurts for awhile afterwards. I'll give it a few more days.

Thanks for sharing!!
