I am 3 yrs post op and still have questions. I just had an ajustment yesterday and am very frustrated. First, the office of my physician is VERY short staffed and it is extremely difficult to get an appointment. I went for an upper gi in March and they determined I was swollen and should have all of fluid removed. I could not get back in for an adjustment until yesterday UGH. So in 2 months time with no restriction a lot of damage was done to my weight loss . The PA that I saw filled my band to what he thought was good. Last night my stomach gergled and rumbled ALL night, I tasted a disgusting taste in my mouth like bile or something then 4x throughout the night I threw up Black Liquid??? What is that?? I didnt have anything to eat and have only drank water due to the recent fill. What do you suggest? has this happened to anyone else?

Ultimately, yes it was because the band was too tight. However, the bleeding was from the wrenching and straining of my stomach when i was throwing up.

Thank you, I did what you all suggested I didnt wait I called the on-call line. My surgeon met me at the hospital and took some fluid out of my band. Yes he confirmed it was blood and not something that should have waited. I am on the mend and feeling better..Thanks again
