Hey everyone, went to the doctor today and he loosened my band, he didn't yell, but he did tell me i MUST call him if i throw up anymore. he ordered a CAT scan to see if i harmed the band in any way and wrote me a prescription for Cipro because the mucus is green now, so he wants to get rid of it. he told me i should not throw up tonight, and i am so happy that i went to see him, so CAT scan soon, blood work after that and then maybe i'll get my act together as i have an appt. scheduled for 3 weeks from now. thanks to everyone for your input. i will keep you all informed.

I have been having the hardest time the last year with my lap band. i throw up mucus everynight of the week. sometimes i wake myself up throwing up on the bed. i can't stand the stomach mucus anymore. i have made an appt. with my doctor for monday (apr.4). i don't want it taken out as i have lost almost 70 pounds, but i cannot tolerate throwing up everynight in the middle of the night anymore. it's gotten to the point where i don't want to go to sleep anymore. i can't even tell him i've been throwing up this long because he will flip his lid. i can't digest my food because i can't eat slow enough. i throw up everything. i'm probably ruining my esophagus or the actual lap band itself. i don't know what to do. i know i'm doing what i'm supposed to be doing by making this doctor's appt. i should've made it a long time ago. i only have between 20 and 30 pounds left to lose, i just don't know what to do. i'm thinking of telling him that this vomiting just started because he is a very strict doctor and will really get upset with me and probably yell at me for not telling him, and i'm so upset by all this that the last thing i want is him yelling at me. Does anyone else out there have problems throwing everything up? or if not everything, just mucus at night? Help!!!!
