I am new to all this, but can you call your doctor? I was under the impression that multiple episodes of vomiting could lead to band slippage, so if you seem worse after the vomiting maybe you should let your doctor know? I work with sick kids and my doctor told me that if I got a bad bug and was doing lots of vomiting she would temporarily take out my fill to reduce the risk of slippage. Jen

I just had my first fill today, 1.25 cc (don't know band size). My doctor said it was okay to have a light meal in the morning but not to come with a full stomach. I have to do 2 days of clears then 2 days of full liquids before I get to eat, so I don't know if I'll feel any restriction, but I hope I do! I was losing well before and had lost 15 lb since surgery (11/29) but now I regained 4! I guess the 4 days on liquids should help with that anyway! Jen
