Hi everyone:

As you can see on my Twitter profile page, I've been TXTing about my first complication. Let me briefly summarize what I've been going through.

Back on Thursday, I had my last fill. By Friday Night-Saturday Morning, I noticed I was having problems holding food down. I was following the diet as I should, but yet I was still having problems. The problems were mainly a persistent regurgitation and barfing like every five minutes while attempting to eat.

Yesterday, I went back to get some saline removed but was told that even though the saline was removed, I'd have to REPEAT the dietary system.

My question is has anyone else here had that problem and, if so, what did you do to solve it?

BTW....Feel free to follow (That's "Twitterese" as it were for SUBSCRIBE) me on Twitter as I clone my blog and TXT my journey away over there. :behindsofa:

Cheers :grouphug:

Yes after my first really bad stuck incident where I had to be completely unfilled I was told to stay on liquids for up to a week. I was mandated to stay on liquids for at least 3 days then I could try mushies and if I could hold those down then I could stay there for a few days and then go to solid foods. When you PB (regurgitate) your food it causes irritation and swelling so even though some of the fill has been taken out, your stomach does not automatical stop swelling. The reason they have you on that dietary plan is so that you don't keep causing swelling and have further complications.

pchamster - I haven't been banded yet, but DH was banded a year ago and hasn't had any problems with fills. Sorry, I know that doesn't help.

salsa1877 - WOW! your stats are incredible!!!!! You are such an inspiration! (that's all, just wanted to tell you):tongue2:

Yeah I know why I'm on the diet in the first place. That was no problem. It made sense.

But what WAS NOT making sense was my barfing like every five minutes every time I ate something.

But now as you will see elsewhere on the site, I have a new problem. Feel free to offer insight if you so choose. (I could use it)

Cheers :thumbup:
