So I went to get another fill today making me have 6cc in my band. Every time after the doctor do it I take a sip of Water making sure the water go down and it did. But now a few hrs later when I drink water I end up spitting it up about 30minutes later . I'm mad I can't even keep FUCKING water down :( So I might go back tomorrow and see if they can take 0.5cc out :(

You have to remember you get swelling after a fill. The more upset you are the tighter your band is going to get. Relax, take a nice hot shower and wait and see how you feel tomorrow.

Most fills the dr wants you doing soft food and liquids for the first day. Wouldn't have any removed until you see if it's just the swelling. 6cc is not a lot.

Your period will affect the band too. Fluids... Swelling etc. I never had a fill when my period was due. Try hot tea no milk.... Seemed to relax the band. As the day goes on it seems to relax a bit. Just go with the flow.... You will become accustomed and lose weight ????

Yes, a fill can leave you swollen inside but it shouldn't get you to a point where you can't keep liquids down. I had an aggressive fill two months ago and when I tried to drink coffee (because warm liquids relax the band) about two hours later, something went horribly wrong! Later that night I checked myself in the ER and demanded they take all the saline out. It sounds to me like you're too tight.

Do NOT keep this fill. Most people have some swelling after a fill, but not to the point of not keeping liquids down. Even if the swelling subside, you will still be too tight. If I were you, I'd go right back and get about .1 to .25 cc removed this way you can keep the rest of your saline.

If you wait, it will cause MORE irritation and vomiting to the the point where you will not be able to eat anything or drink and when you finally go back after being too tight too long your surgeon will have to remove MOST of the saline from your band and you don't want that.

Also you will prevent damage done to your band if you go back NOW.

Good luck

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
