I was banded in March 2007 and would love to join this forum. I have been struggling lately with fills/unfills and really not sure what to do. I have lost 60 pounds which is thrilling, however, recently I have started throwing up every time I get a fill then I have to go back several days later and get an unfill. Any words of wisdom?

Does anyone know of doctors that can do fills/unfills in the Breckenridge Colorado area?

I am having the same problem since I had a fill last Friday. I throw up everything other than small sips of tea or water. I only have 1.0 cc so I really don't understand why I can't keep anything down this time, but I am sick of vomitting and I am afraid to go on vacation this weekend but hate to have it taken out if I can get past the vomit stage. I have had 1 other fill and 1 unfill before due to this problem. Any thoughts?

Dr. Hamn did my lapband and has been great! The only problem I am having right now is trying to figure out the right amount to fill. I had a fill last Friday and have been throwing up ever since, not sure what to do. It is my 2nd fill but I had one small unfill in between due to this problem several months ago. Does the "vomit factor" ever go away? I am so tired of throwing up yet thrilled that I have lost close to 60 pounds in 7.5 months. Any suggestions?
