Help please. Is my band to tight?

I haven't had a fill since before October but starting last week Ive been having a lot of trouble keeping food down. I vomit everytime I eat. I have been eating some of the wrong foods so I thought that was the problem but i couldnt keep down even yogurt. I thought the band loosened over time so I dont understand why Im just now having trouble. Does vomiting actually make the band tighten? If I go back to protien shakes for a while would that help? Thank you for any advice

The people who've responded to your question all mean well, but none are medical professionals. Nor am I. I just want to reinforce that you should call your surgeon, and until you've gotten some guidance from him, I suggest that you stick to a liquid diet to avoid irritating your esophagus, stoma and stomach any further.

Good luck, and let us know what happens.

Go to your doctor! I had the same symptons for over six months and one visit to the doctor cleared it all. Unfortunately, that was after gaining back some weight that I now need to lose. Use your doctor, that's what he's there for. I hope you avoid the gain and the only way to do that is to get to your doctor. Good luck!
