Here's the deal guys, I'm hoping those who have had fills can tell me if this is normal.

I got my first fill on Friday (used floro). My band is an iname 9.75, I think it holds 5 cc's if I remember correctly. She put in 1.5 cc's. I watched the restriction adjustment on the screen it was very cool. The Fluid went through pretty good it looked like.

The next day I made the mistake of trying to eat a little well chewed chili. I could not hold it down. Man the pressure in my chest was SO bad I thought I was going to die, finally I made a run for the sink and up it came. This is the first time I have thrown up since I had the surgery. Its been 4 days since the fill and I have really struggled keeping stuff down. I eat VERY slow and I chew chew chew. I am also noticing that my mouth waters a lot after I swallow, is this what people call "sliming"?

All I am eating is yogurt, apple sauce, Soup and Protein drinks. I am thinking this will settle after a few more days but I wanted to get some feedback from those of you who have more experience with this.

Thank you.

My doctor put me on liquids for three days after the first fill, in case there was swelling. Occasionally I eat something that causes pbing and I put myself back on liquids for 24 hours, again to reduce any swelling caused by the puking.

It sounds like you are either too tight, or have caused some swelling that is interfering with your getting foods down. I would try just liquids, no cheating, for 48 hours, then try to eat something solid, but small and well-chewed. If you still have problems, call your doctor and ask about an unfill.

Yes, what you describe is "sliming" when your saliva and stomach mucus has nowhere to go but up.

Thanks, I will give it a try.
