Can't keep anything down, but it's been 6 months since my last fill



Recommended Posts

I was banded in February of 2008 and had my last fill in May. I'm at 7.4cc's in my band and I was at the point where I wasn't losing anymore, but didn't have the money to go in for a fill. Since I wasn't gaining I decided to wait it out... now, all of a sudden, I am having problems keeping things down, mostly food but sometimes just liquids get stuck as well and come back up.

Any ideas of what could be going on? :thumbup:

This happened to me and it was a slip. I would suggest only trying fluids about 1 0z at a time. My doc recommends coca-cola. If you are still sick tomorrow, go to emergency and get unfilled until the irritation subsides. I didn't and ended up in surgery. I hope it is nothing...remember we are all different. Also, this happens to me sometimes just before my cycle... best wishes.

I too have problems before my cycle. I have trouble eating most foods that normally don't give me trouble. If that is not the problem, I would call your doctor. I have read that the main symptons of a slip, is a sudden change with food getting stuck.

      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! 😞
