Anyone Feel Sick After a Fill?

Hey all, it may be coincidental, but I woke up today not feeling well. Yesterday was my first fill.

I'm feeling a little dizzy and nauseous, stomach is bothering me, headachy and my bowels are a little loose (sorry)

ANyone else? Could be my CFS or Fibromyalgia flaring up.

Every single fill I have ever gotten effected my ears (it's all connected, ya know). At least the first few days I notice what feels like an earache/stopped up head flu-like thing. Then once the fill settles in it seems to go away. But I have never experienced any stomach flu symptoms. My sister in law got her feel last week and experienced extreme vertigo for the first few days as well.

Weird huh?

I have low blood pressure normally. I just read on here it can effect that, make it lower. I'll just take it easy.

You know, I PB'd (a pretty good one-Chex Mix) Wed evening so I did liquid Breakfast and soft foods yesterday. My calorie intake was barely over 1000, I didn't sleep well last night, and today I just feel yucky. This makes me wonder if a "sore" or whatever, band area, like what one might have after a fill, contributes to feeling bad.

I just feel like crap today. Maybe the PB isn't directly related, but I'm thinking it didn't help?

You may have something here, Leener. I don't think it's completely out of the question to be having trouble for a short time after a fill. Who knows?

I had a fill yesterday, and while I don't have the symptoms you describe, I just have a more fatigued feeling...

Having a fill reminds me that there is a foreign object in there, and that I am adjusting something in my body, so I ought to be nice to it for a while...and the liquid diet (I do 2 days) probably affects my energy level, too.

I sure hope you are feeling better real soon!

Haven't noticed any symptoms after a fill....well except it's too tight possibly!??!

Praying for a quick feel better for you!!!

God Bless,

Thanks all, I drank the old Irish rememdy...tea with milk and sugar and am feeling better. I also had some thin pudding.

hope your feeling better as well Kathy!

I've had 3 fills with no symptoms but many people have different experiences with the band so it doesn't surprise me that some people are negatively affected by a fill.

Since the subject is fills...anyone had trouble with cold stuff after a fill? Last night I had a little "golfball" feeling with a SF popsicle, and today with a fruit smoothie (made it myself, with a peach, yogurt, frozen banana, orange juice and 3 ice cubes). Maybe I'm drinking too fast...boy, what a difference in this fill!

3mls on top of 3.5 is quite a large fill. It appears that your feeling sick due too over restricted and dizzy due to either dehydration or lack of food intake. I would suggest you have a small aspiration.
