This has been a struggle for me the lapband journey... I have not always been the best patient

But after this weekend, I think I'm finally ready to make some changes

I hadn't been able to hold down anything since Thurs night even Water comes up

I take meds for depression haven't been able to keep them down either

What I am the most scared about is what if I damaged my band in some way?

I don't want to have screwed this up

I'm going to see the doctor to get Fluid taken out tomorrow but I kept food down tonight.

I'm scared

See if your doctor can examine your band under a fluoroscope, then you know exactly what condition

your band and tubing is in. You didn't mention when you had your last fill, but they can cause the

stomach under the band to swell and cause too much restriction. From everything I've heard,

if your band was damaged you'd know it. Take a deep breath and try to relax, you should be fine.

I've been told that not being able to keep Water down is pretty common. You are just getting used to the new you. Try not to panic and trust your doctor.:)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
