I just found out about this site last night from a couple I met who also had lap-band. I had the lap-band on December 16, 2005. My surgeon was Dr. Wade Barker in Dallas, Texas. I have lost 68 pounds and 5 sizes. I get my fills from Dr. Maese in Dallas, Texas.

I asked the couple I met last night if they had a lot of trouble eating any type of food without vomiting. I vomit at least once a day if not more after only a couple of bites. They suggested that my band was still too tight and that I shouldn't have a fill for a while. Anyone else experiencing my same problem?

congrats on the 68 lbs!!!!

I would say that you should not be pb'ng so often.... evaluate what you are doing when it happens..... I am NOT banded yet, but I read this forum like crazy and the overal advice I've seen is that..

a. eating too fast

b. eating too big of bites

c. eating wrong types of foods

d. and if all this is NOT you.. you MAY be too tight, and call your doc.
