Just joining in... banded march/2004. Unfilled May 2006. Had many issues... looking for some answers...

Evrytime i had a fill i would vomit for 3 days straight and my Dr. would have to unfill me. I took nexium for a month before i tried my last fill with exactly the same results. unfilled after 2 days. Im wondering if this is common, if there is something to be done, i have gained back 23lbs and am worried tha ti'll keep going up!:help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:

Welcom Manzanyta

Great to see you here at LBT...I was banded october 05. the only time i vomited mucus was my second fill when my dr put in 4cc at once (I only have a 4cc band)...I couldn't even keep water down and felt like I was going to die...turns out it was just his inexperience...he saw me after hours to take some out which helped a lot...so far no more issues.

Hello, Manzanyta, and welcome. I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Did you lose much weight despite this?

You might want to post on the "problems" threads and see if anyone has ideas or input.

Yes i have lost a lot of weight.

I was 289 when i had my surgery

My lowest weight has been 180. Right now im at 203.

I will go ahead and post in the problems thread, especially since ive been reading a lot of stuff with my Dr.

A. Lopez Corvala, and am starting to get a little nervous.
