I got my first fill 6 weeks ago. 3cc's. not sure how large my band is, I have the realize band. Everything was ok, I could tolerate pretty much anything. I haven't lost much weight in those 6 weeks, only 5 lbs.

Now, yesterday I got my second fill, an additional 1.5 cc's. I cannot eat ANYthing. I tried to eat a little chicken today and I thought I was going to DIE. For about 20 minutes I thought I really was going to DIE. I kept spitting up, exteme pain, finally I threw up.

Now, 2 hours later I just feel terrible. Really horrible physically. Did I mess up my band by throwing up? Do I need to go back for an unfill?

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm a little freaked out.

I believe you need a small unfill. Call your doc ASAP. That is no way to live.

yes i agree call your doc asap thats the last thing they want you to do is puke thats what can make it slip. by the way good luck on your weight loss with the relize band i too have it was banded on the 20th of oct. lost about 15 pounds but now im really not loosing anymore need a fill. should have had one last week but guess i have to heal up some more go back on the 1st. best luck to you and happy holidays

Here, Here...I agree. See doc misery is NOT part of this plan!

Thanks for the replies. I will call my doc and see what they say. They will probably do an unfill.

the same happened to me... on Monday I got a small fill 0.3cc, I stayed on liquids monday and mushies on Tuesday (that's what my doc recommends), well on wednesday I tried to have some fish and it got stuck and I was miserable (sliming, gagging, hurting) for about an hour. So I called my doc and he had me go in right away for a slight unfill. He said since I didn't wait too long, he didn't have to take out all of the 0.3cc, so he took out 0.2cc and I felt relief right away. He praised me for calling him right away and said that if I'd waited too long he might have to take out at a whole cc, not to mention the risk for slip and erosion. Now I feel great, back to loving my band

I'm lad you're calling your doc, hope eveything works out well for you too! :thumbup:
