can u damage your band??

I have a question for you guys I don't know if it has happened but I'm just afraid. I just had a fill 2 weeks ago and i haven't been able to eat nothing, I'm going to get an unfill on wed I been with the hicups throwing up and with heart burn. Even with my own saliva I can't take it. But i been throwing up so much that where my band is it's starting to hurt. It's that just the muscle or do you think it's something more. I'm so afraid. Thanks for your answers.

Yes, I am glad you are going for an unfill...what size band do you have? 4cc or 10cc? If you have the regular 4cc band, that's one big fill you had for your first fill....but it's hard to tell without knowing the size of your band.

Get your unfill, let the irritation and swelling heal completely, get a small fill, and live with that for a while...then get another small fill, and live with that. IMHO it is a good idea to sneak up on your "sweet spot" and let your head and lifestyle adjust to it, than to have these problems, that can potentially threaten your band and your health.

That said, congrats on the weight loss you have experienced so far...you are doing very well!

If you can't wait until wednesday, call and go in sooner!
