You may be nauseated, but, I dont hear much on vomiting. Not once did I vomit. And I was banded on 6/09/08. Think that its harder once you get banded. I dont know.

I was banded on 4/21/08 and thought I'd never vomit - I did for the very first time about a week or so ago - due to not chewing well.

First it was "stuck" and it was the worst pain EVER! Thought it would never go away - I couldn't get the food to come up or down, it was just there.

Then by the grace of God, it came up, but never do I want to experience that again.

Solution ~ chew, chew, chew. I truly believe this is the only reason why vomiting occurs - well that, plus eating more than tolerated, which we shouldn't be doing in the first place!

May you all never experience it!

i was banded on 04/21/08 and i've PB'd more times than i'd like to say... all completely my fault until i got the hang of things. i went from the pre-op liquid diet to the post-op liquid diet to mushies then had my first fill which put me back on liquids again for 3 days. by the time i was able to eat real food i was ravenous as well as a little restricted and i went off the deep end.

i learned pretty quickly what i could eat and what my body will no longer handle. i also learned that just because i'm banded and my body doesn't allow me to eat more than a 1/2 cup at a time, my brain still thinks the food looks and smells too good to stop. that has been a very painful lesson since my 2nd fill 3 weeks ago.

hopefully now that i'm listening to my stomach and not my brain my PB'ing days are over!

1 day post op. I ended up with a stomach virus and I was throwing up everywhere. I called my doctor and she admitted me to the hospital where I stayed for 5 days on IV drugs. It was the most painful experience ever, but I think that had more to do with it being 1 day post op. Goodnews was my band was the exact same as it was post op. They take x-rays and fluro after every surgery and my band had not moved a mm and to date my band is still good.

how funny... we were both banded the same day and my name is kris, too! i started at 218 and am down to 195, but i haven't done all that i can to be less - need to step it up a knotch, but am thankfull that after 2 fills, i'm still able to eat and tolerate everything - just need to make sure i chew the hell out of it first!
