The other night after having dinner we decided to go out with some friends. I ordered a glass of red wine. This would be the first time i've attempted to drink anything since surgery. I only had a couple of sips and i just couldn't resist the urge to throw up. I didn't throw up any of my food from dinner, i just threw up water and the few sips of wine i had and i felt much better. That was the first time i have thrown up or had the urge to throw up since i've had my lap band. I have no fill. I haven't had any trouble keeping anything down since that happened but my stomach hurts and feels uncomfortable. Even taking a deep breath gives me a pinching sensation. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone?

When were you banded? Its very possible you over ate or tried to drink to quickly after eating. That can happen. Like they say don't try to drink anything for at least half an hour before or after eating. Its a hard habit to break but you will be much more successful that way. As far as the pinching goes I'm not sure why that would happen but you should ask your surgeon.

Like the old joke goes:" Doc, it hurts when I do this." "Well, don't do that".

I guess I shouldn't be smart, but our nutritionist told us that when an activity bothered us, not to do it.
