Not loosing weight 5 months out.

I had my surgery on Dec 10, 2012, but now 5 months later I am not loosing weight. I go down 7pound and then gain it back over 2 or 3 days ever dropping below that 7 pounds. What am I doing wrong?? I can hardly eat, vomit daily, usually 4 or more times a day. It's usually clear liquid and can happen even with just drinking Water. Has anyone else had this issue???

Also I had my last fill over month ago and this problem only started 2 an half weeks ago...

Vomit? As in full blown hurling, or just regurgitating, or PBing?

i would call you doctor and see what he says. i didnt lose weight until my band was properly adjusted. each person is different but your situation doesnt sound healthy if you are "expressing" that often in a day. also depends on what you are eating as well.

Also I have appointment to see my doc in a week he's on vacation this week...it's only been since the 10th that this started before I was fine able to eat several small meals a day and no problems. Do you think maybe my ban slipped??

Slip, dilation? Something's wrong? Get in as soon as you can and try to stick to foods that won't irritate the band and cause more vomiting.

Thanks all...I'm going to try stick to liquids as much as possible and see doctor on June 6th.

It sounds like you could be too tight, and it doesn't necessarily happen immediately after a fill, scar tissue can and does build up under the band producing a tighter feeling. If and when you can drink something without vomiting try something warm first then protein, shake or water. sometimes it helps to just sip sip sip. Please keep us posted !!

You need to get I'm sooner if you can. Vomiting daily and.keeping nothing down is a recipe for complications..... Good luck.

Well I do burp if I drink anything...I am thinking this is a combo of things...i was out of town at work when it started and may have picked up a virus too. I find today has been the worst, couldn't even keep down a slice of cheese and I usually can eat that...if I drink anything it bubbles back up and I end up loosing that too. It's getting worse by the day...have headaches and vertigo horribly. Thanks for all the advice and comments. Might have to go to ER if I can't keep hydrated.

Could be a virus or bowel obstruction or possibly Something wrong with your band. Make sure to go to er if you can't keep liquids down. Will cause dehydration which leads to acute renal failure.
