I had the lapband done almost 4 years ago. I lost 50 pounds and have now gained back 7. I still have 30 or so to go. I have not had a fill in a couple of years but I struggle to eat during the day and I am very limited on what I can eat. I am afraid to go back to the doctor because I still vomit alot if I eat something solid during the day and I can't eat anything that may cause the slightest bit of gas. I am also afraid that the doc will yell at me! I am really frustrated and discussed with myself. I know I eat all the wrong things but I am always hungry. My daughter just became an RN... do you think it would be ok if I have her let it all out of my band and start back slowly? I am just looking for some answers???

I got my band tightened today. She decided to be aggressive today she said and went from 4.0 to 5.8. I cant take a drink or anything. I am even vomiting my saliva. Any suggestions on some relief till I can go back tomorrow?

I got a fill today. I went from 4.0 to 5.8. I am hurting really bad. Can't keep anything down not even my own saliva. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get some relief till I can get back to the doctor tomorrow?

Just joined this group and I am looking for some inspiration! My surgery was on 11/30/09. Presurgery weight was 243. This morning I was at 209. I am 5'6". I got my 2nd fill last Monday. I am now at a 4.0 in a 10cc band. I have been having alot of problems eating since my last fill. Lots of sticking and my heartburn is bad. My blood pressure pill even gets stuck and burns. My biggest issue is that NOONE IS NOTICING!!! I have lost 34 pounds and noone even notices? I have went down a pant size. Has anyone else had this issue? Today I am trying to start fresh and be possitive. I am going to be more faithful with the treadmill and I think I may start tanning a bit. Maybe at least I will feel better about myself! Anyone have any encouraging words on whatelse I can do?:confused:

Thanks everyone for your input! I will just keep doing what I am doing then!
