Sore throat result of being too tight?

I got a fill about three weeks ago and don't know if it was overfill. Symptoms are sore throat perhaps from regurg. Throwing up a lot but can eat normally sometimes. Not hungry except for night snacking. I can eat more than a cup of food. I just can't tell if its careless eating or too tight. It took me a while for restriction. I have 12.5 in a 14 band. I am losing very slow. Just 33 lbs from oct. should I call my doctor? He only is in on Fridays.

If you're vomiting, you need to call your doctor. Vomiting is very dangerous with the band and should be avoided at all costs.

sore throat perhaps from regurg. Throwing up a lot...

Man, that doesn't sound good. Definitely think you want to do something about it. Calling the doc sounds like a real smart thing.

33 lbs since oct is an awesome weight loss actually. and if youre having chronic sore throat its probably due to some reflux and the vomitting. my doc prescribed an acid reducer for that but if youre vomitting you should call to see if you need a slight unfill.
