Not sure what you mean about buckled and unbuckled. The nearest I can think of would be having it filled and unfilled to manage the tightness of the band. Many people have had that done for various reasons.

If that is not what you mean, please explain further so we can try to respond.

No, just as stated... I was banded on we'd 10/24 and I can't keep anything down! I was throwing up in recovery so my stoma and digestive teach are super swollen. I was admitted post op day 2 after surgery and released late yesterday. Now again, I throw up everything. My doctor told me next would be to go back to surgery and unbuckle the lap band. ( they already tried letting all Fluid out). He said he would leave the band in but unbuckle to let he swelling go down. Then later rebuckle. The thought of two more surges freak me out....but I can go on not keeping anything down. Last time I had a Protein shake or anything that stayed down was Tuesday the 23rd....today is now Sunday the 28th! I'm not hungry but I know my body needs nutrients.

I was just wondering if anyone had gone through this?
