I totally forgot to mention this. The day after surgery, I went to the ER (ultimately admitted to the hospital and stayed there for a couple days) with post operative nausea. I wrote out my drama HERE.

Anyhow, my Lapband doctor came to the ER to see me and had his nurse come down with the needle and all the things needed to do an unfill. He says he installs them empty, but something sometimes happens, yadda, yadda, yadda. I wasn't really listening too hard. So my doctor does it and pulls out 2cc of stuff from it.

Moral of this story is that some of us (not me, at least not now) can have a little bit of Fluid in their band already, filled with God knows what, lol.

Oh, wanna hear more? Don't be sipping your Protein drink while reading.

I'm a pro puker. I get the slightest bit sick feeling and I can just will myself into puking everything up. So I get sick with the band and all I can do is dry heave. Even though I know I should at least have Water in there. It was physically impossible, with the exception of right after my doctor took out that 2cc. But after that one time actually puking, I couldn't do it again, The band took my ability to puke away? I cringe at thinking of ever having the stomach flu.

You had 2cc in there already?? Holy moly!

I wish I could tell you something helpful about puking, but... I got nothing. Seems to me like it'd be harder to empty the contents of the "rest" of your stomach if you had to get it all up past the band, right?
