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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
