Please help it is night here.

Today I had my second fill & felt fine.

I ordered a takeaway hot Mocha with low fat milk. Nearing the end I swollowed a amount of thick gluggy chocolate. Some time later my chest became tight & i had to be sick however nothing came up only thick saliva.

I can hardly keep Fluid down & its been about 7 hours. It goes in cycles when fluid stays down or it doesnt.

Could it be that i am very swollen ? It seems unusual if there would be too much fluid as its only 2nd fill and i was fine until the mocha drink.

Its night time here now. My chest is not tight as i am not drinking atm.

please help

thanks

The number of fills and the amount of saline in a band mean nothing. Only their result is significant. (That's why there's no sense to people comparing their saline levels. I knew one person whose band, installed empty, never had need of a fill.)

I can't guess what part of the world you're in, as you refer to "today" and your message is time-stamped as ---- Ha! I just scrolled up to see the time on your note and you'd amended to say you're in a night-time part of the world. I'm in NYC and it's 9:15 a.m.

A swallow of chocolate sludge that had settled at the bottom of the cup shouldn't cause discomfort. It may be that your band is too tight. If you don't feel better in the morning, call your surgery and go in for a look-over and possible unfill, partial or otherwise. If that's the case, it doesn't mean that you may not be a candidate for another fill soon or down the road. If you haven't heard, the band has long been known as a fickle bitchh. (A minor misspelling will outsmart the censor.) For now, try walking around and stretching, arms straight up and elongate the torso. It will either help or take your mind off the discomfort for a bit, much the way boiling Water kept prospective fathers busy.

I agree that in cases where you have effects after a fill, you should let your doctor know because more than likely some of the fluid needs to be adjusted.

Thank you so much for your help. Am in surgery room now waiting will let you know how I go

Have lefy surgery had .7ml Fluid removed and feel normal. How scary.

Am in Sydney Australia

Thank you so much again for replying. It's much appreciated

Oh sweetie - that was a huge fill! .7ml - woowee. Glad to hear things are resolved now. :-) Phewf! Onwards and upwards.

I didn't realise that was a huge fill. Yesterday he added a 1ml fill which was my 2nd fill in total. I thought that was normal. And today removed the .7ml.

What a scary experience it was. Feeling so much better now!

Now I feel on my way of this positive journey

Could the band still be too tight if i am getting the tight chest even eating yoghurt? liquids were fine but i cant seem to eat anything much else. maybe more needs to come out. my god i am not enjoying this atm.

I managed to eat smooth soup for dinner last night so am wondering why it feels so much tighter today.

Hi

I think it is too tight if you are feeling uncomfortable unless you are trying to eat too much yoghurt? Even .1 ml removed can make a big difference. Often after this sort of thing happening it pays to stay on liquids for 24 hours to let any inflammation settle. Good luck

Thanks Gaylene I stayed on the liquids for 48 hours then soft food but too tight. Am going to have more taken out tomorrow. I am suprised this being my second fill how tight it is, its made a huge difference since the first fill. After the first fill i didnt notice any change.

How are you now?

hello there Am much better thanks. i ended uo having another .6ml taken out. then a week later had .2ml put back in and was fine

Awesome. Hope you are still ok. Might be near the green zone!

Am much better thanks

Once you get so close to needing just points of a ml, I would say you are very close the green zone! Good luck.
