May 3, 201115 yr Still gag, choke, vomit have to stand up to eat. Can't bend over. Have a pain where band is placed. Should I get it removed??
May 3, 201115 yr See your surgeon, and ask him to look at it under Fluoroscopy. He will be able to see the whole band, by looking he should be able to see what's wrong. Good Luck to you... Shirley.
May 3, 201115 yr I agree,you do need to get that checked.i am 2 yrs post band.after last fill, 2 days later i started having emesis unable to keep even Water down.i thought my practioner would 1/2 cc,but instead i had to have all the Fluid removed,an upper GI done and wait 6 weeks before i an have fluid placed.this has been hard,but good now i can eat anything.i enjoyed a full meal with my family for the the first time in 2 years without getting sick and only being able to eat certain things for fear of throwing up.But i neeeeed my fill i am lost without it.Yet i am glad that it wasn't a slip band or erosion,just slightly tilted.thank GOD!!!! please see your baratric surgeon.
