Hi my name is Robin, I had Lapband surgery on April5,2007 also a hiatal hernia repaired. For the 1st week I did okay I guess because I ate nothing. So when I finally started adding small amount of food I could not keep it down my doctor tried several things to no avail. He always tells me what ever is going on has nothing to do with the Lapband. Any way a couple of weeks ago I was suffering from severe dehydration they could not even pick up my blood pressure, so he finally gave me a bag of fluids, now I'm retaining large amounts of fluid. I'm miseable I still throw up at least once a day can someone offer any advice? Thanks Robin

Call your surgeon.

Peace Out!

I would insist that your surgeon look at you under flouroscopy. He will then be able to see the placement of the band and see how well fluid is passing through. You should not be having these kinds of problems. For him to say it has nothing to do with the lapband without delving further is unacceptable. As your surgeon, even if it didn't have anything to do with the band, he should be running every test possible to determine what the problem is.
