My husband was really sick over the holidays. He vomited a lot! Watching and helping him got me thinking, what happens if I get sick like this and vomit? There is no way all that can come up through my band. Have any of you gone through this? Did you have to rush in for an unfill?

I would think it be VERY VERY helpful to have anti vomitting medicine at the house AT ALL TIMES as a precaution. I know there are Rx's that are anti vomiting and I wonder if a PCP will auto prescribe one just in case. Things to add to my band list before I get banded. Hope he feels better soon!

I was told by my surgeon that if you get the flu while have the LapBand you need to take an anti-vomit med. You don't necessarily need to have fluid removed.

I guess i have done plenty of vomiting in the 2.5 years since I got my band but my doc sews his bands in place and has never even had one slippage...

I think having that medication on hand is a good idea i m going to ask my doc
