PLEASE HELP, over 1 month POST fill and suddenly sick....

Sick as meaning, I can't eat and in SEVERE PAIN when I eat a couple of bites. When I do I can only eat a very small amount and have been becoming sick, not vomiting but SEVERE chest pain, CONSTANT burping and a couple of times have thrown up mucus. I asked a question about what zone do you think I'm in about a week ago b/c that is when everything started happening but in the past couple of days, its gotten really bad. I have an appt. tomorrow and have to go for a barium test first (yay) but know someone here must have been through this before.

You would think it was a band that was too tight but how can that happen so far from a fill and happen pretty suddenly after all was fine for almost a month? I wouldn't say great b/c it has been hurting to eat at most times during the last 2 plus weeks.

Does it sound like something more serious than just an unfill? If that was the case, wouldn't I of had problems long before now?

TIA! Hoping someone has an idea of what might be going on.

Banded 6-7-11 and last fill was about 1.5 months ago. Start weight 243 and now 215.

As my original post stated, I have an appt. for tomorrow which is the earliest they could see me. :(

I'm having to go to a new doctor b/c just moved out of state.

I'm going threw the same thing. It's a pain I know, but I am going in for a unfill Thursday. I wish it was Tomorrow, but I have a 2 1/2 hr. drive each way, and I don't get paid till Thursday for Gas... :blink:

I was told that I am to tight, and if you don't stay on Clear Liquids, this will only start up again...

So let me know what they find, because this sucks.

I got a fill about a month ago, and was tight ! I new it, but I also knew that the band will relax.

I was in the Hospital for 3 days, and a Nurse shoved some crushed meds. down my throat...

Well from that point on I have been puking, foaming, and you say your chest hurts. Well on the left side of my chest where the band is.

It won't even open for Water. So I am looking forward to Thursday.

But again let me know what they see.

I definitely think it could be as simple as just getting an unfill. That's definitely what it looks like to me. Hope your appointment with your doc goes well, I think it was smart to make an appointment. Good luck!

Sounds like you need an unfill. I get tight with stress & flying. I am at 6.25 CC's and pretty tight. I have to be really carefull but I am reaching my goal & eating small but healthy! Good luck all!
