  1. Ultimately, yes it was because the band was too tight. However, the bleeding was from the wrenching and straining of my stomach when i was throwing up.
  2. Thank you, I did what you all suggested I didnt wait I called the on-call line. My surgeon met me at the hospital and took some fluid out of my band. Yes he confirmed it was blood and not something that should have waited. I am on the mend and feeling better..Thanks again
  3. I am 3 yrs post op and still have questions. I just had an ajustment yesterday and am very frustrated. First, the office of my physician is VERY short staffed and it is extremely difficult to get an appointment. I went for an upper gi in March and they determined I was swollen and should have all of fluid removed. I could not get back in for an adjustment until yesterday UGH. So in 2 months time with no restriction a lot of damage was done to my weight loss . The PA that I saw filled my band to what he thought was good. Last night my stomach gergled and rumbled ALL night, I tasted a disgusting taste in my mouth like bile or something then 4x throughout the night I threw up Black Liquid??? What is that?? I didnt have anything to eat and have only drank water due to the recent fill. What do you suggest? has this happened to anyone else?
