Hello, My name is Ronda and I am new to this site. I was banded in Feb. Two weeks ago I had to have 2cc removed from my band due to vomiting from migrain headaches. I was told that the vomiting causes sever renching on the stomach muscles therefor inflames the stomach tissue around the band. I wasn't even able to swallow Water for 2 days. The thing that I find to be strange is that since I have had the 2cc and had .6cc putback in, I have been more successful in losing weight. Has anyone found this to happen to them after having Fluid removed? I also had a very difficult time eating regular food again. Being in the health care profession I am so use to having to eat fast because that is the only way you get to eat. I have gotten better but it takes a lot of effort. Hopefully we can stay in touch and be of support to each other. Thanks.

Hello Everyone, I hope that you are all doing well. I'm trying to get back into eating right. I had a couple of bad days of food choices with the holiday weekend. I work at a hospital and everyone brought in food to Celebrate the 4th and of course nothing was healthy. (Funny since we are all in the nursing field and have a bariatric center in the hospital). I am going back to the Dr. on the 15th to have some of my Fluid put back in. I had to have 2ml removed 2 1/2 weeks ago after a bad migrain. I had severe vomiting that put some serious stress on my band to the point I couldn't even drink Water. Feeling much better now. I have actually been more suscessful losing weight since they took some of the fluid out? Has anyone else lost weight after having fluid removed? Once again thanks for the replies and I look forward to talking to everyone. Ronda

Hello, I am new to lapbandtalk.com, July 6th will be my 6th month anniversary of my banding. I have not had that much success with my weight loss and have had some problems. Searching for support I came across talkband.com. I hope that it will be a great tool for support and success. I am open to any advice and suggestions that anyone may have. I hope that I may be of some support as well.

Hello, Thanks for the response. Hopefully we can stay in touch and be of support to each otehr.

Hello, I am new to this site. I had my sugary on Feb 6th. I have had many ups and downs. Just had 2cc removed and have seem to have had better luck losing weight. I'm only down 36lbs counting preop weight loss. Hopefully we can stay in touch through posts and support each other.

Hello, Keep your chin up and think about the positive results. I'm not sure where you located. I am in upstate NY and had to do a strict liquid MediFast diet for 4 weeks. The 10 days will be up before you know it.
