Hi, I just got banded yesterday and came home this morning (had to stay overnight due to vomiting from being under).

I sipped clear liquids all day when all of a sudden I was extremely hungry so I decided to try a half cup of low sodium chicken broth. I sipped at it and stopped after I had about 2/3 of what I had taken and about a half hour later I started feeling VERY full. Now its been a couple hours and it hasn't passed... Its like that feeling when you ate too much and could vomit. Did I just misjudge and overdo it or should I be worried? Also, if I do vomit will it make the band slip? I threw up 3 times yesterday from anesthesia (sp?) and my doc wasnt to worried about slippage. Any help would be great, Im so worried :thumbup:

Chronic vomiting is not good, but the occasional hurlage is something the band can take. I too was sick as a dog from the anaethesia. Told the doctor beore hand it would make me puke and she said that it was ok, she'd given me something to prevent that, but as soon as I woke up from surgery:puke:She wasn't too concerned.

You know, we all worried about slipping our band when we were first banded. But, if your doc wasnt concerned that is really reassuring. What is probably going on is: You were just banded and your stomach is irritated and a little angry. It is probably swollen in mulitple places and this is making you tight. Add on all the puking you did...that is enough to make some of us "longer banded" folks get tight for a few days. All that swelling, irritation, stress....all of that makes a difference with how tight you are feeling.

Just try to relax and take things slow. It just sounds like right now you are tight. You arent going to stretch your pouch or anything on liquids.

If you continue to have concerns though, you can always call and talk to your doctor again.

Good luck and holler if you have any questions--Amy
