hm...(this is not good) as not being able to keep things down is dangerous...you sound (that is if you have fills) maybe way too tight. i personally would call your doctor and let them know what is happening and get this took care of.. congrats on that superb weight loss.....please call the dr and then let me how what he says...hang in there okay

I agree that I think a call into your dr. is in order. Sometimes stress, illness, etc can cause the band to be tighter and if you cannot keep anything down, there is a chance it has slipped too (sorry, don't want to scare you) just think it is very important like CG said too to call your dr. and find out what's causing it. I hope you feel better soon.

I agree to call your doctor. If you havent had a fill recently and this is happening you really should have your band checked soon.

Call your surgeon's office. You might have a slip! Good luck

This happened to me. My band became tight all of a sudden on its own, with 3.5 cc. Barium would barely drip thru. I had a complete unfill 7 months ago, I've lost with no fill, but still have restriction. My EGD/esophogram were both normal, showed no slip, erosion, but my stoma is about half the size of the band itself. My doctors feel that scar tissue built up between the band and stomach causing the stoma to be much smaller than it should be with 0cc in my 11 cc band. You need to get to your bariatric surgeon ASAP. Keep us posted.

could it be something else and not the band? any other sytoms? think about seeing your regular doctor also it is that time of year.
