I am so sorry that this is happeing to you...Maybe I can give you some suggestions to see how this holds on your stomache....Maybe try to go back to the first and second stages of the band after surgery...and on the seventh day when you eat.....Right down everything you eat and put a notation on how your feeling and what possiblly may have triggered the nausea....Good luck!!!

that sounds like Hell.....I really hope you feel better. I was suppose to get the band...but am so glad my surgeon talked me out of it! good luck!

Hello onikenbai I feel so sad for you, that you are having so much trouble with your band. Are you eating smaller portion, band friendly foods, and can you feel your self geting full before you reach that stage of puking. There are so many snacks you can try to eat when you feel hungry. I know the doctors say that people the band just does not work for them. Have you had a second opinion from another weight-loss doctor? I feel your pain and am sending you all my blessing your way. Best of luck.

I am sorry you are having such a hard time. It is strange and so unprofessional that your doctor is not actively searching for an answer. I am hoping you find some relief!

Onekenbai - hang in there don't give up there has to be a solution just keep looking and talking to other bandsters because I am sure you are not the only one that has experienced these results. Sometimes bodies just reject having the foreign object in them and it takes a while for your body to adjust and accept it as part of the new you. I am wishing you all the best and many prayers your way!

I am so sorry that you are having such trouble. It is not fair, but life is not fair. OK, first I would run to another doctor. Your surgeon sounds like an ass. How dare he not be jumping through hoops to find a solution. Writing down everything you put into your mouth is a great suggestion from blossoming. Perhpas you are eating something that you have a food alergy to or too greasy? I would suggest you go back to liquids or pureed food until you get another doctor to check you out. Please do not give up - there are answers out there and with the right doctor, you will find an answer. Good luck to you.

Oh gosh, oni, I'm so, so sorry. I do hope that you will eventually be able to work this out. It is such a great tool, but if it doesn't work for you, I truly hope you find something that does.

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT. YOUR STORY WAS MY BIGGEST FEAR GOING INTO THIS. I AM NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS BUT I AM ALWAYS FEARING SOMETHING IS GOING TO GO WRONG. HANG IN THERE........
