Hello,

I am 3.5 months post-op, I've lost 90 pounds since the start of my pre-op on 5/1/10. The majority of my success thus far has been without restriction. I've had two fills, the last one being on 8/18. I am now at 6.4cc in a 10cc band. These past 3 weeks have been a challenge for me. I've PB'd about 6 or 7 times and for the past hour I can stop vomiting. I am relating this chicken, but am still seeking some an advice from you all.

Please tell me:

1) have I messed up my band by vomiting?

2) how often do any of you all PB or vomit?

3) Any similar episodes for any of you?

FYI - I left a message for my fill providor, waiting for a call back.

thanks,

Rebecca

Sounds like your a bit too tight. That's good you called the office- Pbing that much isn't normal. You may want to stick to protien shakes until you get into the office.

My doc stated all the things happening to you as a sign that the band is too too tight. It is a good thing you called your provider.

Darn-it! I think you guys are right, the only reason I've hesitated is because I was able to eat fine all last week but I avoided chicken. Today I thought I could try chicken again, now that I wasn't having the "restriction" feeling. Still waiting for a call back...I'll try Soup or protien drinks until confirmed.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I was having all the same problems after my last fill. I went back to Dr. and had .4 removed and it made a world of difference. Good luck.
