Throwing Up

I was banded on June 22, 2011 and haven't had any problems until this month. This month I've had 2 major episodes of convulsions and all the symptoms of throwing up. The weird thing is that nothing came up. I wished it had I would have been relieved. I go on Tuesday for my second fill and I'm concerned that it will get worse with more restriction.

Has anyone else experience this?

Hi

My names Sharon and i,m new to this site, and i also had my band fitted in June this year, i also have had convulsions and the symptoms of throwing up in the last couple of weeks, even had one today after one mouthful of my lunch..its very frightening and i have,nt even got nay fill in my band yet...

Help...lol

I don't know what you mean by Convulsions ? I mean I know strait across the board what a seizure is.

I never herd this term used with the band, and I been banded 6 yrs.........

I would call the Dr. if you are having problems.

I would think twice about another fill.

I also don't know what you mean by convulsions. Are you having a seizure with the feeling of throwing up? I never heard this before either and would definately call the Dr or go to the ER with these symptons. Please explain. Thanx.

Call your doctor for a check up. Please report back to us what he found and what he told you to do.

Yes I'm calling my doctor tomorrow and plus I have an appt. on Tuesday. I don't have these systems often, but they've occurred at least 3 times this month. I was thinking it was something I ate.

Well you know how your body reacts when you have to throw up? thats what I mean except there is nothing coming up, but yet my body is going through the motions. It's painful, my ribs are still sore today. But I'm going to my doctor on Tuesday and I'm hoping he can give me some insight.

Maybe convulsions is too strong a word. But what I meant is that i have all the symtoms of throwing up, my body is going through all the motions but nothing is coming up. My ribs are still sore today from it. But I have an appt. with my doctor on Tuesday, I will let him know what is going on with me and hopefully he will address the issue.

Glad you dont mean actual "convulsions". I've had the stuck feeling with the dry heaving also. I actually had to make myself vomit which I never did before in my life. It relieved the stuck feeling. Also papaya pills help when you get that tight stuck feeling in your upper chest.

YES YES that's exactly what i mean. I didn't know how to describe it. Yes I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow and have a call into to him today.

thanks.

I had a round of dry heaving this morning and have been nauseous all day. I had to go pick up my grandson from school due to vomiting. I think we may have a bug. I am going to do liquids only today and see if things are better tomorrow.
