So I vomitted last night. I mean REALLY vomitted!

Yes I know it was my fault. I was eating something I had eaten before. Chicken sausage. But it was cooked on the grill and quite possibly too dry even though I ate it with some red sauce. I was ravenous last night (I'm PMSing) and took too big of a bite each time and didn't chew enough AND didn't wait long enough in between bites. Then the pain came. It wasn't unbearable but it was a slightly sharp pain in my chest and then the foam and slime started. Everytime I tried to burp it would foam and I would spit. Nothing really came up with it at first and then all of a sudden I gagged and I vomitted as if I didn't even have a band. I wasn't even expecting it. I retched 2, maybe 3 times and each time something came up with it and then I was done. Most of what I ate came back up and I felt a little relief but I was still sliming a little bit. Actually it was more like foam. I feel ok today. A little sore but ok and I'm doing just liquids today just in case but I know people have asked this before and I've searched trying to find the answer but I came up empty handed...how likely is it that I could slip my band by vomitting just once? I'm going in for a possible fill tomorrow, my 1st one, and my surgeon does them under fluoro so she should be able to see if I did anything to it, right? I will definitely tell her what happened. :bored:

Was there bile/stomach acid or just the foam/saliva? If it was just saliva and food then you didn't vomit it was a violent PB. This can happen. I doubt very much that you have slipped your band .

I don't need to tell you to be more careful in future because you know that already. But damn it can be so hard sometimes can't it. Especially when you are starving!

I didnt get that bitter yucky taste you usually get from a normal vomit so I'm almost positive there was no acid or bile in it. It looked like (sorry to be graphic) I just put my dinner in a food processor. It wasn't "watered down" looking like normal vomit does. And no you definitely don't have to tell me to be more careful next time. :glare: That was a very valuable, yet scary lesson I learned last night. I will NEVER do that again! Ouch!

I'm going to be more careful with my band from now on. I love it too much. :sleep: :bored:
