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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
