I've been banded since July 2012. I've lost almost 80 lbs and have had not any fills. For the past month, i haven't been able to keep anything down. Went to the doctor and he checked the band for a slip and the band is fine. Anyone else having the same problem??

I would go back and have them check it out again. Its not normal to vomit. Is it constant or sometimes. After certain foods or on all foods.

It is pretty much everything I eat. I had 2 days last week that I didn't puke which is so rare. I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed a meal.

Then something is wrong. I bet it has slipped. I would go back and tell them that something is definitely wrong.

He took an xray of my abdomen and saw the band and he said it didn't move. He gave me medicine to treat ulcers but it really hasn't helped. I am definitely going to call and make another appointment.

I had the exact same symptoms for months. My doctor kept unfilling me and told me that slips are extraordinarily rare. I finally convinced my doctor to do a barium swallow or upper GI, which was done last Friday. He found that my lapband had, indeed, slipped and had been that way for a while.

I was scheduled for emergency surgery that same day, and my band was removed.

Bottom line is that the possibility of a slip is nothing to take lightly. If you are not eating or drinking, you are likely dehydrated and/or malnutritioned. You are not getting the nutrients you need.

I would insist on an upper GI if your Dr hasn't done one yet.

He tried to take fluid out of my band but there was none in there. Drinking is usually fine it's just really solid foods.
