Ok so I had surgery Aug 10th and a fill of 1cc last monday. I have a total of 5cc in. Today when I came home from work I ate a small piece of microwaved chicken and since then I have thrown up 8 times. Now it is mostly spit. Spoke with surgeon and he said " I wish you woulda called me a hour ago when I was in the office".... he said to hang in there tonight and sip Water. I can go into the office tomorrow for an unfill... The problem is... im not sure I can stay up 14 hours till I can get in...... advice? Any idea what I can do to calm things down...

I am sorry to hear that. Maybe you should try just a few sips every 10-15 minutes. Thank heaven you can see your doc tomorrow. See what he says to do if this should happen again. i would be interested to know as I have my first fill in 6 weeks.

Please let us know what happens. I'm sorry to hear you're unable to keep anything down. What a terrible feeling!

Hot Water or tea, after your stomach has calmed down. And then liquids for a few days. My last fill was only .5 of a cc - and it has made a HUGE difference. Just one bite too much or of the wrong thing sends me to the restroom to spit up mucous - gross. I'm just living with it, though. I'v only lost 18 lbs since my surgery in May 2010, so I figure the band if finally doing it's job. The whole process is a never-ending learning cycle. I hope things settle down for you.

Sounds like you were stuck.. I cannot handle reheated meats (like chicken, pork). The dryness just messes with me. Hope you are doing better.

Just and update: By morning I was finally able to sip a little. I went in for a 2cc unfill and was able to drink without problem after that. The surgeon said we will do smaller fills this time around. But I feel much better.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
