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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
