Hey, I had my band fitted on the 5th November 2010. Since then iv lost 2 stone, which is great as I was not hugely overweight to start with. After my first fill I was still able to eat a fair amount of food if I chewed it properly so I had another fill almost 2 weeks ago. I am struggling! I am throwing up after ever meal and can feel even smooth yogurt gurgling to come back up. Will this settle down? I know tat after my first fill I struggled to keep anything down and that eased- but it was not to this extent.

sounds like you are just a little too full (the band) you should probably have a little taken out.

I was okay through about my 4th fill, around the holdiays the stress started to get the best of me. I had Fluid removed and it helped a little but the more I stress the tighter I feel. Also, the constant vomitting caused a lot of inflamation. I too got sick on yogurt once! I think the best is to have it loosened until you get back to feeling better.

I hope someone answers, I cannot keep anything down for long and I am still on Clear liquids, it has just been 5 days but geez something has to stay down there.

You need to speak to your surgeon's office and let them know exactly what is happening.

how much should you have taken out when this kind of thing is going on??? I'm afraid to take any out since I have finally got it to where I can;t eat whatever I want but now I can;t eat anything and everything is coming back up. The worst part of it is, I got it filled almost a month ago now and I dont think I have lost any weight! Has anyone else had something similar? If so, what did you do??? Why is this thing not working???

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
