Flem and Throwing up

I haven't had a fill since December of 2014 and now I am getting lots and lots of flem and throwing up. I am even throwing up in my sleep. Getting worried here. Not to long after I eat I have to go running to the bathroom. Mostly its just flem that comes up but lots of times I am throwing up food too. I am belching alot too. I don't eat that much, I keep it to small meals, my saucer is my dinner plate. I try to eat good and healthy but not always. I go back to the Dr on the 6th of July and am thinking of asking him to take some liquid out of the band to see if this helps. This even happens drinking Water or tea.

    I would not wait until July 6th. What you are experiencing does not sound normal. Please see if you can get in asap and have an xray of your band's placement. If nothing has changed in your eating

I would not wait until July 6th. What you are experiencing does not sound normal. Please see if you can get in asap and have an xray of your band's placement. If nothing has changed in your eating habits, and all of the sudden you are sliming and throwing up, especially in your sleep, thing's are not right with your band.

Please get this checked, and let us know what they find.

ok finally got in to the Dr, he was away National Guard. Called the office crying trying to get in to see him but they told me was gone for the Army I begged them to get me in with someone else who could help me, office staff told me that no one covers my Drs patients while he was gone. I was so darn miserable. So I got in there yesterday and told him what was going on, he asked me why I waited so long to come and see him. I then explained about me calling and what the front desk told me. He was so mad, he said that was not true that any of the Drs in his office could have helped me. I feel so sorry for the front office there cause he was getting geared up for a big chew out. Anyway took out 1cc of liquid and its like instant relief. I can now eat, drink and no throwing up. Asked him what happened, since my last fill was in Dec 2014 and this is July 2015. He said more than likely I had eaten something that must have inflamed my stomach and then it swelled up and that made my band tighter. I don't care anymore, all I care about is now I am no longer throwing up, no flem and I can eat and drink. I go back in a month and if all the symptoms are gone this I can get more cc if not then I will have to go and get a swallow test done? Not sure what that is but it don't sound good. Thank you everyone for you answers.

Thanks for letting us know that you've had a good outcome!

I likened my unfill (for similar symtoms) to the effect Drano has on a drain. You really can feel the stuff all the sudden unblocking. Sweet relief!
