I seem to be sick from when I get up is this normal?
I seem to be sick from when I get up to approx 6 oclock I only have fluids, then in the evening I manage something to eat and drink. Is this normal. I have lost nearly 9 stone, my last fill was in October

Hi, this isn't normal. Do you have any pain? If so get to a clinic ASAP. If not it sounds like the band is too tight. I'm afraid I see more and more patients with over tight bands, usually after radiological fills. We use the NIOPPS recommended regime of clinical fills to avoid over tightening. The main difference being the fill amount is dependent on what you can eat, how you eat instead what shows on an Xray. Both techniques done well are OK, both done badly can be a problem. We prefer clinical fill as there seem to be fewer problems. So if no pain get to a clinic, that does clinical adjustments, preferably registered with NIOPPS, and let them assess you. Well done on the 9 stones, how much more to go? Andy
