I had a fill last Wednesday so a week and a half ago. I have been doing really well until the last two days and barely can keep food down after the first go round. I tried to eat my salads for lunch and instantly get heart burn and then toss it all up. After about an hour I'm good and can eat a little. Also had trouble at supper but tossed it up then ate again. Weird! Am I too tight! Anyone else go through this? Not having any trouble with fluids though. Any suggestions?

I just had a chat with my support people today and was advised that it takes about 1.5 - 2 weeks for the fill to take full effect. The nurse advised me that if I started to get any acid reflux, vomiting, excessive burping then the band is too tight. Maybe you might need a very small de-fill. This is not normal for the band. I've had it for a year I've had 3 fills and I've not encountered the things you are encountering. If the band tighten's because of stress you would be productive burping no vomit no heart burn. Since you can still drink fluids I would play around with it over the weekend like try taking smaller bites or drinking warm tea if this does not help I would contact your doctor's office and request a small de-fill.

Sounds like your stoma is irritated from all the regurgitation or vomiting. You need to go on all liquids for a day or two until the swelling is gone. If you don't, it will continue to get worse and that can lead to a slip.

When you start back on solids, you also need to examine your eating habits. Make sure you're not taking too big of a bite, make sure you're chewing well and don't swallow until you chew until about the consistency of applesauce.

You mentioned salad. salad is one thing I can eat but have to be very careful and slow or it causes problems.

I have experience similar problems since my 2nd fill last Friday :( I tried to eat a piece of an English muffin and it got stuck! Worst feeling ever!! I felt like I was going to throw up but nothing would come out..I'm going to do all liquids for a few days and see how I feel.

Can anyone explain why it supposed to take so long for a fill to take effect? I've never experienced that, and I can always feel my feels right away, or If anything, it gets looser over time…

      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?
