Throwing up with restrictive LapBand

I am very nauseated. My Realize Band has 9cc in an 11cc band. I have no idea what to expect. Will my band become displaced?.

    If it's too tight and you're vomiting? It's a definite possibility. Call your doctor.

  • I've had a stomach virus 3 times since banding. No slip...all depends on your anatomy and how it was implanted.

I've had a stomach virus 3 times since banding. No slip...all depends on your anatomy and how it was implanted.

I get nausiated very easily. Have thrown up 5 times since surgery (not realted to getting stuck - that's a different story all together). I had to go in for an ultrasound and barium swallow (x-ray video while drinking this stuff - watches it go through band, detects slips in action) to check and see if anything had slipped. Nothing had. Doc did a .2 unfill to make it less likely that I would slip if I vomit again.

He said that if I have a major vomiting insident, where I have a virus or thow up 2x in 24 hours, then I need to see him and have the barium swallow again.

He gave me a perscritption for Zofran, a medication that stops you from vomiting. It does not work for everyone, but does for me, if I take it right away. Makes me very sleepy right away though, so can't take it if I have to drive or function.

Maybe ask your doctor about zofran that you can keep on hand for emergencies - but ask for the kind that disolves. It's super miserable to try and swallow a pil when you're already about to puke.
