Gastric band - anyone else had a fill and been sick?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello!
I had my band fitted October last year and I've had 2 fills so far.
Ever since the last fill 3 weeks ago, some days I only have to eat 3 mouthfuls and it's painful then I am sick! I am chewing properly and not rushing my food.
For example yesterday I was eating cod, which I think is ok!
Any advice would be great!

I'm ok with rice as the moment but I guess it will all change until I'm at my full fill! X

Of course if it continues on a weekly basis, then you band may be too fill and you will need to go for a defil.
I try and always have a warm drink before I eat, it opens the band slightly.

I had a total of 3 fills within first 6 months and have none since then and Ive had the band in for 3 years.
After the first fill, I too could still eat normal size meals but after 2nd fill I started to get the full feeling...tightness in the chest and then my 3rd fill I actually had some taken out on the same day as they make you drink a glass of cold water and a hot drink before leaving the medical centre and I could not get more than half a glass of water down and threw up, so they took 0.5ml out and since then never been back as I am fully restricted now. For example when I go out still till today, I order potatoe skins and can only finish 1,5 halves. I always order from the childrens menu or have a starter when I go out. In the beginning out of habit you do try and push it or you think you are starving and could eat half a meal but nope, I get extreme pain between my breasts and start to gurgle or my mouth fills with saliva.
