I have had the lap band for almost three months now. I have recently been sick with gastro (or something similar as this has lasted for three days now?!?!) and I have not been able to throw up normally (alot of dry retching). Does anyone know if it is harder to throw up (from sickness not over eating with the band) after food goes through the band?? can it come back up through it? Also, I dont appear to be getting over the sickness....im still trying to throw up three days later (and still nothings happened). has anyone else had a similar experiences? help!!

hi, I had my lapband on the 18th jan 2011 and also did not notice any significant weight loss until i started having band adjustments. I dont think you should worry to much - after starting to move onto solids and getting my appetite back I gain alittle as well.....I have now lost 15 kg since the band! I would suggest if you dont loss weight after the adjustments then worry - but at moment focus on recovery from the op.
