Please Help.. Nowhere to turn...ZERO resistance in my lap band

[Raenglehart06 0]

Its a long story, and I wont bore with the details, but basically this is it.

I was banded in Oct 2009.. Have had LOTS of sensitivity problems with band, the nurse who did all of my fills (the only one I trusted to access my port) left the practice and myself & a bunch of other patients followed her to the new practice. I saw her once there and had a fill at 4 cc's.. Then went for my next fill and found out she left that practice too. Its now been about 9 months or so since ive seen anyone at either practice, and I still only have 4 cc's in my band.

I always have had a very hard time eating anything and have not been successful at all with my wieght loss. I have 2 young kids and frankly just dont have the time... So anyway..

Last week we went out to eat to a hibachi restaurant for my husbands bday. I didnt eat much, but adterwards violently vomited. That night & the whole next day I was very very sick. Nausea, passing out.. Even diarrhea (sorry, tmi) I developed a high fever too. I eventually got over it but never found out the cause... But ever since that vomitting episode, I have had absolutely ZERO resistance in my band. Its like it emptied itself or something! Is this even possible?? Should I just go back to my original surgeons office? Someone please help..

That sounds like food poisoning....

Nobody else got sick and we all ate from the same hibachi of food. My main concern is that I no longer feel resistance in my band when I eat... Its like its not even there anymore!

Of course you need to go back and get checked by your Dr. and get a fill. It sounds like you already know that.

I am guessing you are fine and you do not have enough in your band for it to do it's job. I think your lack of restriction and the vomiting episode are two different things.

I know you can't compare to other bandster's exact fill levels, but this far out post-op 4cc does not sound like much.

I was banded July 2009 and at this stage have 5.7cc in my band.
