    No, it's not normal. Did you drink water before leaving your doctor's office? Can you drink fluids now?

    sounds like you are too tight. Like Mis73 said, did your dr. have you drink water before you left the office?

If liquids are coming back up you are too tight. I suggest you call your doctor. You don't want to get dehydrated. Good luck.

Maybe you are taking too large of a drink and drinking too fast. Try smaller sips and waiting a while between swallows.

If you're not able to keep Water down at all, don't wait, dehydration can come on pretty fast.

I agree take VERY small sips; no BIG gulps; if liquids will NOT stay down . . . TOO tight ~ call da' doctor ASAP

Thank you everyone I know you guys can help me out I did call doctor he said they just closed so I will need to go tomorrow

I hope they get you in first thing in the morning because my band was too tight and I just tried to "tough" it out because I didn't want to have any taken out because I didn't want to feel hungry and I hoped I would loose weight quicker BIG mistake on my part and a HARD lesson learned...... My band slipped and they had to end up draining my band :( thankfully it went back but I had to wait a month before they would put anything back in so I am starting over from the beginning pretty much...... You don't want that to happen... I have to be extra careful from now on cause they say once it slips it has the tendanacy to slip again :(

I 'm curious I know what happens when you get a slip but my Dr assured me that he really sticiches the band in so it can't slip easily and he had only 2 slips out of 800 or more. How are these bands slipping can anyoe tell me. Are other Drs not stitching the bands in??

As far as I know and someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the only thing that is stitched is the port. Throwing up from over eating, eating too fast or bring too tight can cause the band to slip. They drained mine, spent a week on liquids and thankfully it went back. It's pretty painfull and scary when you have a slippage and I urge everyone to be really careful because its not something you want to experience. I was so bad that I was afraid I was going to asphyxiate in my sleep.

Mine was stitched in top and bottom. I only threw up twice and it has slipped. My doctor was at a loss... I'm only the 41st slip he's had out of over 3000 band surgeries. I really got the feeling that he didn't really believe I'd only vomited twice, but I swear that's all...

I'm pretty devastated. He didn't even discuss emptying the band and seeing what happened (basically we've already done that -- I was completely unfilled last month and it was only today that the slip was diagnosed). I'm headed back to the OR as soon as insurance gives the okay.
