I had my surgery almost a year ago. I'm down 78 pounds. But, lately I am sooooo depressed. I have lost alot of hair! My hair was always one of the only things I ever liked about myself and now it's gone. I can't seem to stomach the Protein drinks anymore. I bought the chocolate unjury mix and it's good but, I take 1 sip and my stomach starts clenching. It just won't accept it anymore. I am also having a hard time wrapping my mind about not eating the way I used too. I don't know why I am having trouble now almost a year after the surgery. This weekend I have pretty much spent the whole weekend throwing up. It started Friday and has continued to today. I had fill taken out 3 weeks ago. I contacted my nutritionist and she thinks I am eating too much. She also said that I need to stop making myself throw up to feel better because I could make my band slip. I was fine for 3 weeks. I find it hard to believe that I ate too much. I only had maybe a quarter cup of egg salad.

How do you know if your band slipped? I am freaked out that I did something to my band. Why can't I get my mind under control??? I am totally losing it and have started hating that I had this surgery.

Even now I have taken a couple of sips of Water and I have gurgling. Like I have to burp. Ugh!!!!

When my band slipped, I was in pain just from swallowing my own saliva. As soon as anything went through my band, I had this sharp pain. You will know if it slipped usually unless it is a small slip that can correct itself.

I would get in to see your surgeon asap. Doesn't sound like your eating too much, sounds like you are too tight. I have had my band suddenly tighten. I bet with a small unfill you will feel much better. Sorry about your hair, you might want to see a dermatologist. I did, and he told me it was from rapid weight loss and would subside. He assured me I wouldn't go bald. He was right on both counts. Feel better soon!

Thank you for answering! I was freaking out a bit that I hurt myself. I have been taking sips of Water and there has been no pain. I am having a little acid reflux and gurgling noises but, thank God no pain. I just took a Nexium to help.

I guess one good thing with having to drink liquids for the next 2 days is that I will get over a stall in my weight loss. Trying to think positive!

Definitely go to your doctor asap. And don't eat any solids until you get an unfill. If it is partially slipped this could hurt it further. Acid reflux is a sign of being too tight.
