No. I don't know about throwing up over and over again but my friends that are already banded I've seen through up a couple of times (almost every time we go out to eat at least one of them does) and they are both still having great success. Can you try something to help you feel less ick though? There's something fenu something that helps I've heard? Sorry you don't feel well, hope it gets better soon.

If you vomit once in a great while, like when you're sick, you'll be ok.

You run into problems and risk a slip if you're vomiting repeatedly and regularly.

I get stuck at least once a day. Hope I dont slip?

You shouldn't be getting stuck once a day. You may be too tight or not chewing well enough. Please be careful. Frequent Pb'ing can risk damage to the band.

No, you won't ruin your band, but, avoid throwing up because you can make the band area a little swollen and may become too tight. Try something that may coat your stomach hopefully making it feel better. First thing that comes to mind is Pepto Bismol.
