I am in the same boat. I was banded in july, felt well, and then since Beginning of Sept. have been vomiting, feeling sick, afraid to eat - especially anything remotely solid, and very gassy. I went to the dr in September who removed fluid from the band. I felt slightly better, but still having difficulty. I am losing about 8 lbs a month, but am afraid of the continually need to either vomit or spit up phlem. Any ideas what I should do next? They did have me take a test, but said I was fine.
