I have been having the hardest time the last year with my lap band. i throw up mucus everynight of the week. sometimes i wake myself up throwing up on the bed. i can't stand the stomach mucus anymore. i have made an appt. with my doctor for monday (apr.4). i don't want it taken out as i have lost almost 70 pounds, but i cannot tolerate throwing up everynight in the middle of the night anymore. it's gotten to the point where i don't want to go to sleep anymore. i can't even tell him i've been throwing up this long because he will flip his lid. i can't digest my food because i can't eat slow enough. i throw up everything. i'm probably ruining my esophagus or the actual lap band itself. i don't know what to do. i know i'm doing what i'm supposed to be doing by making this doctor's appt. i should've made it a long time ago. i only have between 20 and 30 pounds left to lose, i just don't know what to do. i'm thinking of telling him that this vomiting just started because he is a very strict doctor and will really get upset with me and probably yell at me for not telling him, and i'm so upset by all this that the last thing i want is him yelling at me. Does anyone else out there have problems throwing everything up? or if not everything, just mucus at night? Help!!!!

Hey everyone, went to the doctor today and he loosened my band, he didn't yell, but he did tell me i MUST call him if i throw up anymore. he ordered a CAT scan to see if i harmed the band in any way and wrote me a prescription for Cipro because the mucus is green now, so he wants to get rid of it. he told me i should not throw up tonight, and i am so happy that i went to see him, so CAT scan soon, blood work after that and then maybe i'll get my act together as i have an appt. scheduled for 3 weeks from now. thanks to everyone for your input. i will keep you all informed.
