  1. Now that I have read about all of us that throw up too much.... What suggestions are there in fixing the problem? Should I get the band out? Should I just learn to live with it? HELP. I guess I wouldn't mind throwing up if I was loosing a lot of weight, but only 40 pounds in 2 years stinks! I am unable to get a fill, because I can't swallow at all with the fill. ANYBODY HAVE ANY ANSWERS???????
  2. :help:Hey Michele, BE CAREFUL! I too am in the process of going through all the hoops to find out why I THROW UP all the time. I am unable to eat very much yet I throw up or choke on anything that I put in my mouth. I have gone for the swallows and they can't find anything wrong with the band.... Yesterday I went for an upper GI scope and they still can't find why I throw up. I had my surgery on Aug 10, 2005 and I have only lost about 40 pounds since then. Now they are suggesting that I remove the band. After all this and all the money I paid to get the band done.... This pretty much SUCKS! All I know is that I am not ready to go through surgery again and I am so tired of throwing up. The doctor told me yesterday that some people just can't handle having that foreign object in their bodies. I have no answers for you, but if you hear anything... please let me know! ALOFA
