I just recently got my lap band removed October 27th 2015 (2.5 weeks ago) and STILL CAN NOT eat solid foods. water barely goes down! the first week I could barely drink HOT liquids. & I was hospitalized for dehydration. I had my band removed because It was way to TIGHT! with a slight inflamed esophegus (due to throwing up) and the band is OUT now and STILL throwing up constantly. some days are good and I can eat mushies and soups but majority of the days are horrible I throw up water and coffee first thing in the morninng, as the day progresses it seems to open up more at night and i can eat a little bit. Does any body else have this problem? My surgeon wants to scope the stomach- they send a camera down and a balloon and blow it up to open the stomach back up?? please help

I'm so sorry for your difficulties nikki. Unfortunately we can't help you but it sound like your surgeon can. Good luck and let us know what's happened.

thank you gowalking!

@@nikki_lesueur -- It sounds as though the surgeon is speaking ordering endoscopy? I'm not in the medical field, but believe that's the place to start. I hope you're past this entire episode soon.

Hey I'm having this exact problem. What happened in the end?
