I have had my band for over 2 years, and usually I could eat something, like a yogurt or a piece of fruit. Well in the last 2 months, since my last fill, I can't eat anything.

I am barfing everything..I even barfed Water.

I feel like passing out a lot, and I am really tired. I don't know what to do, I was thinking about getting my band removed, because I used to eat way too much, and now I am struggling to drink water.

I also have the worst heartburn that I have had in a long time, I wake up and try to drink water, and get this horrible heartburn, and I have to barf the water back up. I have taken Prilosec, and Tums for my heartburn, and the Prilosec seems to make me barf everything, and Tums only work for a few minutes.

I am going back to my Dr. soon, but he seems to have this "everything is fine" attitude.

Maybe I just need to be slightly unfilled?

I just want to be able to eat something again. I have some Protein shake stuff (disgusting) and it seems to go down ok if I pace myself.

Anyone ever experience this? any ideas on how to stop this heartburn?

I started a new lap band Dr. I was told to go for 24 hrs. with only liquid or protein drink, then try soft, then go and try solids. I haven't been doing that, and would continue to throw up, keeping the band irratated, now it has been 2 months and I haven't thrown up at all. So try that, it worked for me.

I did get the unfill (slight) after the problem with heart burn, and that was a yr ago, and no more heart burn. and only pbing when I don't chew well, and then don't follow the advise, to go on liquids after pbing for atleast 24 hrs.

I started a new LAP-BAND® Dr. I was told to go for 24 hrs. with only liquid or Protein drink, then try soft, then go and try solids.

My doc's nurse just called and said to go on warm liquids for 2 days. She also said that my stomach might be irritated from all the gacking. If I dont feel much better by Friday, she wants me to schedule a visit to have some Fluid removed next week.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that that's all it is. My doc is a 4 hour drive away, so I'm hoping this warm liquid thing will do it!
