Banded on 11.11.10. Faced a lot of struggles in the beginning.. I'm a traveling hospice nurse & after I was banded a life long friend became terminally ill. She was diagnosed w/stage 4 cancer and placed on my hospice service. I didn't get 'filled'for 7 months after my surgery. In the beginning I was okay.. Had very little in my band. But during my last fill session I became increasingly ill and was vomiting multiple times a day every day. I chewed, hardly ate anything but puree, etc. It got to the point where I couldn't even swallow my own saliva. They removed some fluid but I still had trouble. i Continued to vomit, lost hair, nails breaking & teeth ruined d/t vomiting. They finally took ALL fluid out & I gained 15lbs back. Still have no fluid in my band and my body has never been the same. Any advice would be grately appreciated. I'm scared to get another fill. They never scanned me & I didn't know to ask for one.. I guess It could have slipped w/all the trauma.. Not sure how to proceed. Thanks
