Unsure if it's acid reflux or something else. I traveled and my band tightened. I came home and it got better. I caught a cold and I haven't eaten as my throat was too sore. Since 3am I have been vomiting a brown liquid. If I lay down its worse, it comes up and I can taste blood. I've never had this happen. No Dr. available I would have to go to the ER.

Thank goodness. I'm trying to keep my band as long as possible... I'm a bit over 10 years... good days and weeks. And some rejection times..
The weight has stayed off though. Thankfully
Please update. And did the er know what to do??

No the ER was not knowledgeable of the band luckily they have a bariatric surgeon who was called in. He advised me the band is becoming less and less. But he has a few patients still and is going to take care of me. My doctors at True Results are no longer as they closed down and my doctor I had well I found she was not knowledgeable and that is why I ended up in the ER. My band has had all Fluid removed until July to let my stomach heal and it is a struggle everyday but I am pleased I am healing and alive to have a struggle. Thankful every day.

How goes it with the band emptied?

My take was it was difficult to stay on a banded program of eating. The cravings seem to still be there if I ate just a bit too much. My body wanted more ...

It has not been easy. I do my best to stay with 2 Protein Shakes and then a sensible dinner. So far I have not gain. July cannot get here soon enough haha!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
