I feel like I'm going to vomit any second, and I'm having anxiety about this......banded 12/17/12...im scared to death of vomiting with the band!! Someone please tell me if I throw up my band won't slip!?!

You definitely don't want to especially while you are still healing. However, I have more than a few times over the past months and my dr. has not been concerned. I was scared after it happened the first time (happened after getting my first fill). My doctor didn't get worried about it. If you were to get the flu or something though, to where you may be repeatedly I would definitely call your dr. as they can prescribe an anti-nausea medicine. If you are concerned, I would call you doctor's office and maybe talk to the nurse to hear what they say.

Your band will not slip if you vomit! I have vomited with my band and It did not slip but if you eat appropriately and chew you should have little vomiting. I now it is very scarey. I was scared to death the first time I had a vomiting episode. I got a GI bug after being banded and I was scared to death, I did not think I would be able to vomit but soon found I could. So just relax and if you are nauseated ask your physician for some medication for nausea, I took medication for the first few months until I was able to start eating more regular again. I had a lot of nausea in the beginning.

Now if you would have repeated vomiting episodes there could be a risk of your band slipping but band slipping usually happens more due to overeating, stuffing your self and stretching your pouch.

This is my opinion only and the best advise and comments should come from your physician. I am just speaking from my experieince.

Thank you ladies...I only liquids tody, Im sick from my period...what medicine can I safely take over the counter now?! It's Saturday night, I can't get hold of my doctor!

When I was in the hospital nurse told me to sniff rubbing alcohol and put an ice cold cloth on my chest and that helped.

I've thrown up twice since being banded on oct 25. 1 time when I decided I would be fine eating Chinese food. Well I wasn't. One bite and it was stuck. First came the productive burp, then my mouth started to water bad. I was over the sink, and once my mouth started to water my stomach started to feel like I had the flu and the heaving started. It was only a few heavs though. I was freaked too though my band would slip. But the doc said only someone who vomits all the Time for days is at risk. The second time I threw up was a few days ago. Sometimes I forget I have the band. I walked into the pantry and saw the fig newtons, they hadn't been open so I was like hey why not get one. I ate it but didn't chew like I do when I am conscious of my eating, a few seconds later I was ready to do my wii fit and I took a drink of water, well the water didn't stay down it came back up instantly, good thing I had a cup near me lol. Then i was over the sink mouth watering like I had a faucet in my mouth. And I was heaving. It was way worse then the first time. Sometime it just happens. You aren't paying attention of eating consciously. Just try to be aware at all times lol. But now and then it won't hurt your band.
