I PROLAPSED!... Beware!!! Vomiting and PB Beware!

[NYdad 21]

Ok, so I am 10 months out. I have lost 80 pounds and now I have the beginning of what looks to be a prolapse. I went to the office last week and thought i needed a little more Fluid added because I was hungry often. the nurse really couldnt understand how i could be having hunger issues with 11 cc in my 14cc band. she sent me for a swallow test right away.well the xrays showed i was in the early stages of a prolapse. i had all but 5cc taken out of my band so things could settle. Ok heres my advise.... If you are having any issues such as PB or mild vomiting you need too say something. I ignored it. I also ignored the heart burn. Now I am dealing with an unfill and possibly worse. If this dosent settle I have to have the band removed. NOW, for questions I have.... Has this happen to any one reading this and if so what was your outcome. How did the doctors office handle your situation? How long did it take to get your fills back to restriction? Thanks. I have had this for 11 months and it has worked wonderful for me. I just wish I would have realized I was abusing it.... If you are reading this PLEASE be aware a prolapse can happen with minimal vomiting or PB's.

wow I hope you don't lose your band. How long had you had the vomiting etc. I don't get mine until 8/11 but want to know anything I can do to help me?

I didnt have issues with vomiting until I moved from 10cc to 11cc. I should have realized it was too tight but instead I thought I wasnt chewing well enough and eating too fast. I went about 4 weeks after that fill with out vomiting so I thought it was ok. a few weeks before my regular dr appt I had a vomiting session. I got something stuck pretty bad. it finally came up and I thought everything was ok but for the next few weeks I kept having mild PB-(vomiting). I knew I had an appt coming up so I dealt with it.(mistake). well I'm sure the damage happen when I vomited pretty hard the first time. It was worse than any other stuck episode. long story short 2 weeks.
