2 years after my surgery, I still vomiting almost every day, and I did not loose any pounds. In June I tried to talk with my doctor and, the advice he gave to me was to take off "my band", he did not believe when I said that I am not a eating person, I already tried to have my 4 meals, but I could not do it, and when I have my dinner, almost every day I throw up. Now I am very depressed, I don't have any energy, I just think this surgery did not work for me, I know I have a very slow metabolism, I have hypothyroidism and he did not want to fill my band because I still vomit. And I have been thinking of another surgery. I would like to know if anyone has been going through this...

I have been vomiting since I had my surgery.

Hi Karewpah, I have been vomiting almost every time I eat. Any kind of food... Only shakes go down. One bite and I'm full and then I throw up. And what is more depressed is that I don't loose any pound . When I think all the stress I went throw, I just feel hopeless.

I lost 15 pounds before the surgery, and after the surgery I lost in a total of 25 pounds. But now I am very disappointed, I had the fill last week, about 4 cc. I still feel hungry and am not loosing anymore weight. Besides that, I feel I can eat everything and drink any amount, I do not feel any difference in having the Lap Band.

Anybody knows why we cannot use straws anymore?

Thank you so much guys!!!

I still hungry, but what make me disappointed is that i am able to drink a lot more than i should and this goes the same for food.

Doesn't hurt and it is fast. Don't worry!

I HAVE A IMPORTANT QUESTION: Is that true if we only taste the food in our mouth and not swallow, will we continue to lose weight?

Thanks my good friends, I feel much better now. I talked with my doctor and he prescribed for me Sudaded and Tylenol.

Please, i need some help, this is the second week of surgery, can i take ibuprofen for sore throat ?

tylenol is not an anti-inflammatory...i already took vicodin, but didn't work
