2nd fill today and can't hold down water!!!!

I just came back from 2nd fill or maybe you can call this 1st and a half. I went last monday and they did my first fill they added 1.5 cc to my 3 cc that was left in after surgery giving me a total of 4.5 cc in a 10 cc band. I did not fill any restriction. I was able to eat a lot and had to use portion control because I was not feeling full and getting hurgry so I made an appt. today and told them about it and they put in an addtional 1 cc giving me a total of 5.5 cc and I have not stop burping and vomitting a watery foamy stuff. Is this the way it is supposed to be after fills? Do people generally feel a little sick like this after fills? He said I should feel the restriction now and to ease back into foods slowly. I am scared to call the office to tell them about the way I feel now . They probably are going to think I am a complainer first not a enough fill and now too much. Or is this the way we are supposed to feel after fill and it takes a couple of days to settle down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That doesn't make you a whiner! Call your doctor NOW! You are too tight. They may only have to take out .5cc's to make it better, but don't wait for it to get worse.

ok so i think u rushed into getting a 2nd fill...one week apart? ur belly was prbably still swollen from the 1st fill...my doctor makes us wait 6 to 8 weeks for another fill no ifs, ands, or buts about it...u have to call ur doc u do sound 2 tight if u cant keep water down..but space ur fills out give ur body a chance to heal from the prior fill..good luck

I have only had 1 fill (2nd one is scheduled for Tuesday); Not even five minutes after my first fill - I began gagging and spit up a couple of times. Doc immediately removed all saline and very slowly inserted less.

I don't know alot about the process, but do know that you are NOT whining and that you should make the call as stated, ASAP.

Good Luck

Thanks everyone !!!! I called the doctor after reading all the post and he took me back in ASAP. He took out at first .5 cc and had me sit and sip for for 15 min and it all came right up again but this time no foam just water and he them took out another .2 cc and oh my god a big difference. so I am a happy 4.8 just .3 cc more than last week and all the foamy and everthing else stopped. He said I came back just in time if I would have waited longer it would have gotten worst and I would be in the ER tonight. He was not even upset. He was glad I called he said alot of people make the mistake and wait. Thanks to you all I did not wait. One thing we did find out is I diffinitly have a band!!!! Thanks again !!!!!!!!!
