Here's my story.... my question is at the end.
I have been vomitting for several months now. Not every day but at least once a week. It's up to twice and sometimes 3 times a week. At times I can eat, what I think is a lap-band size portion, 1 cup... or say one slice of pizza. Then there are times I can't eat 5 crackers, or even take a slip of Water.
If I didn't know any better, I would say my band is o.k. for a week, then I may eat too much and vomit. That seems to set me up for a cycle of vomitting. For the next 3 -4 days I will barely eat anything and have to make myself vomit.
I never know when I'm going to get sick. It seems the junk food (Cookies, donuts, chips) goes down but when I try to eat healthy, chicken, steak, pork, it gets stuck. I have not gained weight but I'm not eating much either. I try to get at least one Protein drink and one protein Breakfast bar down a day.
My question, can my band slip for a few days, correct itself for a week and then slip again for a few days, correct itself for 2 days and slip again. Or does a band not move around that much. If it slips, does it stay slipped, it might correct itself once, but doesn't move that much. Oh I did have my fill removed over two months ago and I'm still getting sick/vomitting.
I had an upper gi series but it was inconculsive. Then had an endoscopy two weeks ago, band not eroded and just had ultrasound today to check for gallstones.. none. I'm thinking another upper gi series. Is there another test they could do to check for a slippage? Any info would be great.
