Hi. I've been banded almost 8 months. I had a fill a week ago that has left me tighter than I can recall ever being. So, I've been reading these boards more than ever and have found answers and comfort in everyone's responses. For the first time, I've experienced first-bite syndrome and morning tightness, and found posts relating to these. Now, it seems, I can relate to so many more experiences.

At lunch today, I finished what I could eat and then all of a sudden had this sudden feeling like I needed to vomit. It wasn't a stuck episode, it was that horrible feeling of needing to get sick. I haven't experienced this before with the band. Can anyone tell me if this is normal and why would it happen?

Thanks so much.

Probably because your band is too tight and the food couldn't go down. You need to go back and discuss this with your Dr and possibly get a little fill removed. Being too tight is not good.You don't lose weight and it leads to all sorts of serious complications.
