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



Recommended Posts

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!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
