Any advice is most appreciated! I was completely unfilled 18 months ago when I was pregnant. Today I got stuck on some meat, threw it up, and got stuck later on some soup, threw that up. I was throwing up saliva and still burping a lot. I'm scared I'm completely stuck and my band site is getting worse by the minute. Is there any way to get the inflammation down? Any tips? I've been trying to sip on warm water and holding a warm pack to my site. On a side note I'm breastfeeding and have no family here to help so I'm scared to have to go through surgery. I'm just really scared right now.

I have probs with my band and its empty too. Sometimes the same as you, I think if you can weather it out for the day and only sip on Water you will probably find it will settle down again. You might have a vomit slip. I would then suggest staying on clear fluids for at least 24 hours and then other fluids for maybe another couple of days. See how you go.

Good luck

Just in case this happens to anyone else, here is what helped me. I sipped a tiny bit of very warm water, then laid on my stomach. This helped to pop up whatever else was in my band, as in I threw it up. Then I didn't drink for a long time to let my stomach settle down. A few hours later I sipped maybe once every 15 minutes. The next day I was fine. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because it's very scary to have a complete unfill and get stuck because there is nowhere to go but perhaps surgery.
