Ok I have lost 101 lbs in 10 months!!! YEA:thumbup: But I didn't think I had good restriction. Boy was I wrong!! I got only .30 of a fill and I have been burping and hiccuping every since 1:30 pm today. After trying to eat 5 spoons of soup. I will call my doctor in the morning if I can make it through the night. I am miserable.

Wao, congratulations Peaches on all that weight loss, I am hoping to be there in that time frame as well! Good luck on the issue at hand, keep us posted....

Thanks and good luck on your life time journey:) I have a feeling he put air in my band. That's why I think I have so much discomfort. I have had about 8 fills and 1 unfill and never felt like this. Even when I was too tight.

Sounds very unpleasant. Sorry that's happening to you. Hang in there and congratulations on the outstanding weight loss that you have achieved! :smile:

Peaches I am so impressed with your weight loss success! You are certainly an inspiration to me:tt1:

I am also very sorry that you are having such a difficult time with your last fill. I have had a hard time with my last 3 or 4 fills. I have some pain, sliming, foaming and can't even drink anything without it causing more foaming...then I have to make some of it come up..not really vomiting just like a foaming pb!:drool:

Anyway, my surgeon has told me that this happens because the fill puts pressure on the vagus nerve that runs by the spot where the band is. It is the nerve that lets us know we are full. Luckily, he also told me that the nerve will calm down in about 24 hours and he is right!! That is the good news:smile2:, the bad news is that you have to deal with the yuckie part for most of those hours. No sleep to speak of until the nerve settles down.:smile:

I don't know if this is what has happened to you, but you might ask your doctor about it.

Hang in there and please let us know what your doctor thinks happened.

All the best to you.

Hopefully, by the time you read this, the swelling will have calmed down a little bit and you'll be feeling like, "Oh, yeah---this is better!"

If not, and you can't keep liquids down, call the doc sooner rather than later!

I hope you're feeling better this morning! I also just wanted to say "WOW!" on your weight loss. I can only pray that I see a higher number in that time frame. How did you do it? Please share because I'm dying to know! :smile:

Thanks everyone:) I didn't sleep much last night. But I do feel a little better this morning. It is starting to calm down a bit. But I am still going in today at noon. I can't stand to be uncomfortable:(

Thanks! I think what worked best for me was portion control. Only eat 3 meals a day and no snacks. I do workout about 4 times a week and 2 times with a personal trainer for the loose skin. It's helping a lot. Good luck with your journey:)

I love my band:thumbup:

Feeling so much better!! I did go in today and the doctor took out some of the fill. Which wasn't much to begin with but too much for me I guess. He did agree that I got some air in my band or he said it could have just been a nerve that was causing the reaction I was having. Still have very little,but much better!!! It is so weird cause everyone is so much different, I don't have 5cc in and I guess I'm at my spot. Something must be right though cause I am losing weight:) Lost 3 more pounds overnight:thumbup:

Good morning Peaches,

I am so glad that you are feeling much better! That band of ours can be tricky:sneaky:, can't it?

I am sure you are going to reach your goal weight soon and like I said before, you are an inspiration to me!

Keep in touch.
