colorado.girl80 8 Posted October 21, 2010 I am unable to vomit. Normally I would think this is a good thing (especially with the band), but lately I am questioning it. I have had food get stuck a few times, and even tried to get it to come up, but it never does. I am always just in pain for a long while until it goes down...which it always does. The reason I am concerned about this now is becuase I got very drunk the other night. I was feeling very sick (of course) and knew I was going to be sick. I retched a few times (not by choice) and nothing happened at all. I am just curious if it could be a bad thing at all. I would think that when a person needs to throw up that its their body trying to get rid of bad stuff. Can it be harmfull if it is unable to get rid of that stuff? **I know that vomiting is bad for your band and I would never try to do it on purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted October 21, 2010 I also had the same thing after having a few too many glasses of wine. Woke up in the middle of the night feeling horrible, preband I would have thrown it up and felt better fairly quickly but I tried and it wouldn't work. (Probably a good thing as actual vomiting can slip your band). I had the yukky feeling for far longer than I would have had preband so I am now extra careful as to how much I drink!
