After my first fill...yuck!

I had my first fill today and everything seemed ok. I got home and was tired so I laid down for awhile. When I woke up I felt horrible! It felt like the worst gas pain in the world and tons of pressure on my chest. I tried to take some gas-x but then shortly after I threw up 3x. I havent thrown up yet though this whole experience and I still have that pressure on my chest. Is this normal? I havent eaten or had anything to drink since doctors office. Should I call them??

ya... you sound to tight. Sometimes it doesn't take much to overfill, even on a first fill. I think I'd call them.

I would call too...I hate fills and haven't experienced anything like that. Are you feeling alright otherwise? Wonder if it is just a coincidence that you are coming down with something.

My Dr. makes me drink Water in his office after a fill to make sure it goes thru - do you do that? If not, maybe request it.

Good Luck.

Yeah I drank water at his office and it seemed okay. I will call them then. I am having a hard time not throwing up right now. (Carrying a bucket around with me.) :(

Definitely call them. You may be continuing to vomit at this point because your band has slipped so a call will help determine if you should come in for an unfill, and if you ask them to do it under fluoroscopy they can get a good look to make sure it hasn't slipped.
