First, I don't think you did anything to abuse your band and screw it up...you had a kidney stone..it's not your fault....
Vomiting and the band do not go together...it was not designed to have things forcefully go up the other way...we have to eat small and slow...there is nothing small and slow about vomiting.
Since being banded, I have yet to vomit...but it is something I am very conscious of, and not looking forward to the day I do....
The only advice you should take from the psuedo-experts here would be to contact your Dr. and inform them of your symptoms and discomfort.

Thanks, guys! It does help to know I'm not ether only one having this problem.
"Bandsters hell"....good to know.

Last night, my friends ordered a pizza and cinnamon sticks while we hung out. I had a few bites of pizza, and they went down okay, so I got careless and attempted a bite of a cinnamon stick. "NOPE!", said my band, in no uncertain terms!
bread does not work with a band, so I'm going to have to figure out other cinnamon-y Snacks. Garlic should be easy, though!

Today, the first year of my new life with my band, I got up to take out the dog. I grabbed some lounge pants that I haven't put in in a few weeks, took two steps, and they LITERALLY feel to my knees!
Plus, the jeans I put on next are falling of my butt! Had to look for my belt to hold em up!
So excited for this year!

Thanks, guys! It was something I definitely needed after watching my friends chow down last night.

This happened to me the other day! I put on a pair of jeans and they were loose, which made me happy. THEN I put my boots on, and they zipped right up. I was actually shocked for a second!

Got my band today, and ended up having to stay overnight. Yuck. Pretty sore, but I'm up trying to walk. Can't wait to get home!

Hey, desotogirl! I'm on for Wednesday too, yay us!

So I went in for my pre screening apt this morning, after starting my liquid diet on Monday morning. My surgeon said he wanted at least a 6-7 pound loss, which I thought sounded CRAZY.
I lost 8! Its been a miserable week, but this made me feel like it can be done and I'm on my way!
Now. Five more days...bring it on.
