Hi, I'm not sure if my situation is due to my band or just my body being weird. I was wondering what you guys thought. So I have had my band for about 9 months now. When I was about 5 months in I got a fill that gave me adequate restriction. I was good with this fill for over a month when all of a sudden, I couldn't get anything down. Not even Water. I went to my surgeon and he took out 2 CCs. Since that time I have gradually added back the 2 CCs an have been doing great for the past 2 months. In the past 2 months this fill amount has been PERFECT for me! I have been really happy with my level of restriction and the weight I've been losing. Now all of a sudden, about 4 days ago. I can't get anything down again. I can't even drink water with out it being very painful and me throwing it right back up. This has been going on for awhile and as you could imagine, I'm feeling quite hungry, but no matter what I try, apple sauce, yogurt, etc...it will not go down. I don't want to take any Fluid out of my band, because I've been so happy with it! But at this rate I'm fearing dehydration. Is there anything that I can do to remedy this problem on my own and what do you think could be the problem? Why do I go so long being just fine and suddenly this happens?

They took out a CC and I'm able to get down liquids and mushy stuff. I still feel a little sick but MUCH better than before. However the surgeon was concerned and couldn't figure out what could be causing it so, I'm scheduled for an upper G.I. scan thingy tomorrow morning

So I woke up this morning feeling incredibly sick, so I've got an appointment with my surgeon for 1:30 this afternoon. Guess I shouldn't have been so stubborn!

Hi guys! Thanks so much for the replies. Nope, I'm not sick, haven't done any traveling, not that time of the month. I've tried hot ginger tea. Still no luck. I wouldn't mind doing warm liquids and protein shakes if I could keep them down.... But that isn't the case.

Thanks for the replies. No traveling other than in the car. No allergies that I know of. I've tried hot ginger tea but that's not really working either. It's been going on since Sunday. It seems to be getting worse. Although I haven't eaten anything in days and haven't tried to sip anything in hours, I still keep feeling the need to push up stomach acid. It tastes awful! I normally wouldn't even worry about it but it's been going on for 4 whole days now. I don't know what else to do besides get some fluid taken out, which I REALLY don't want to do.

Haha, I had a whole post but after I realized it was in the wrong space I tried to delete it, but couldn't figure out how!
