Hi, I had my band filled to 5.5 cc's. Then two days ago, I went fill again because I felt I was eating too much still. The nurse added 1 cc.

The morning of the fill I ate an egg mcmuffin. After the fill, I tried to eat Soup, or even drink juice, and I can't keep anything down. I feel so sick until I barf it up. The next day (today) I am still not able to eat anything. Whatever I try, causes me to feel aweful and want to throw up. If I don't throw up, I feel real bad -

any ideas what is happening - what to do?

Sounds like you were a bit ambitious on the egg mcmuffin - a VERY difficult thing to eat when you're well filled. You may have caused some irritation. Can you keep liquids down yet? If you can, a few days on liquids may calm everything down and you may be fine to get going (carefully) on solids.

If you're even having trouble with liquids, I'd be back to your doc straight away to have some fill removed.

I've never had this happen to me but I wouldnt muck around, you can get dehydrated very quickly and all the vomiting is not good for your band.

Hope you feel better very soon.

Wow, I've never been able to eat anything of that substance. I would talk to my Doc. Maybe you are at the right place now and your food intake will slow way down. If I even eat a little to much at one time I will be sick. At my Docs office when you have a fill you are required to be on a liquid diet and mushies for two days after. I hope this helps a little. Good Luck.

I'm not sure if this would help but with my Doc you can have liquids up to 4 hours before a fill and then nothing until the fill, then liquids for 48 hours... If you still can't keep even liquid down then I think you need to go back and maybe get a small unfill until it settles down... Keep us updated.

Thanks for you replys - I went to my doctor this morning and she defilled it 5cc's. I felt better right away - and I even ate lunch and I was fine. I will live with this fill for a few weeks before I see if I need to tighten it - and if I do, I will make sure I don't eat anything close to my fill time.

Take care

I can't even do the EGG part of a mcmuffin... something about those preformed eggs get me every time!

Glad your feeling better

hi,... i went through that and i personally think you should call your surgeon at the hospital because it could be anything your band could be to tight or on the verge of slipping. mine was so bad i went to see a different surgeon at albany med and he wond up taking my band out, so my stomach can heal up and do the bypass on me. hugs Ann38

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
