I got a fill yesterday. And today has been my worst day ever. I think the band is too tight that I can't even pass my on spit. I have been throwing up all day. I haven't been able to drink or eat anything. I called my doctor but he can't see me until tomorrow morning. I am scared my band is going to slip. Any advice on how to feel better.

If you're vomiting and can't even swallow your own spit then you need to go to the ER. Not only are you risking a slip but also severe dehydration.

Otherwise, if you feel you can make it until morning, go in for a small unfill ASAP tomorrow morning. There really isn't anything else you can do.

Best wishes.

And in the future, don't leave the doctor's office after a fill without drinking an entire glass of Water, just to be sure. Feel better.

I was in your boat 5 months ago! And I did drink a full glass before I left the doctors office and everything went down fine! It wasn't until later that night it closed up so tight I couldn't get my spit down! I ALSO went to my local emergency room and they refused to help me! There was not a bariatric doctor there so they sent me home! So I had to wait until that morning to rush to the doc office when they opened! Only thing I did was just keep spitting your spit out dont swallow it! Sorry to hear you're in agony because I know too well that feeling and its scary!!!! It scared me from getting another fill for 5 months :/ I just got a real small fill Monday and not feeling it at all. My doc has set me up for a fill under fluoro next Friday because I have had so many problems trying to find my sweet spot!!! Best of luck to you!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
