Need your opinion

Okay so something has been going on with me since my last fill. I had my surgery Oct. 8, 2008 and have lost 70 pounds! I really am proud of myself and have not had issues up until this point. Since my last fill - three weeks ago - I have really had issues eating. After I eat, I sometimes have to make myself throw up because the pressure is just horrible. Here is my worry - am I just over filled - or do you think slippage has occured? I just left a message for my doctor and have an appointment for a followup next week. I guess I am just letting my mind run a drift. My port flipped during the healing process, which is something that only happens in like 2% of people, but now I am thinking this is just bad luck. I am somewhat getting dicouraged which is not like me at all so I would really love to hear some feedback from all of you and get a concensus of what might be going on.:confused:

You definately could just be overfilled. Don't worry yourself until you see the doctor. If it doesn't happen everytime you eat it could also be what you ate. The band can be really funny sometimes. There are days I can eat alot with no problems and days I can barely eat anything. One day a food I just ate a week ago with no problems, may all of a sudden cause problems. Don't get yourself worked up until you see your doctor. More than likely everything is just fine. Let me know what happens.

It sounds like an overfill to me, but I am not a doctor.

I would not let this go until next week for resolution. I would call my doctor and insist that they see me as an emergency case either today or tomorrow. You should not continue on like this over the weekend.

In the mean time, stay away from solids inlight of the fact the some solids are causing you to vomit. Continous vomiting can cause a band to slip and you don't want that to happen.

I hope all will be well with you. Keep us posted.

I also don't think you should wait until next week to get this resolved, or at the minimum stick to foods that you can tolerate without throwing up until next week (if you can identify them, and this isn't totally random). Hopefully, mushy foods are going down okay.

Omg congrats on your fabulous weight loss girl!!!

I was filled last week, and my surgeon mentioned someone who had to make themselves throw up after eating most of the time. Turns out, they had a slip and it was easily repaired. I don't want to freak you out, but what you wrote was exactly how he described the woman's situation.

I hope it's just an overfill, but keep us posted!
