Help!!! I Cant Swallow My Spit After 4th Lap Band Fill!

[beccaboolane 1]

I just had a fill today, my 4th, and I can't keep anything down. I keep slimimg! I tried to sip Water, Jello, ice cream, yogurt, Soup, I have finally given up since after about 2-3 sips I bring it back up. I know it is too tight. I just need to know if I should call the on call doctor since I can't even keep my spit down it seems. I am slimimg about every 10 mins. And I haven't tried to drink or eat in 3 hrs! Help!!!

Yes you need to see your Dr pretty urgently. In the meantime suck crushed ice - it helps to reduce the swelling.

Call the on cal doctor! You will enjoy the relief when he/she takes out a slight amount! Good luck, Karen

Thanks! The ice chips worked, but I still threw up. : ( I'm on my way in now. They are getting me in before they even open.

They took the whole 3/4cc out which was my while last fill. My stomach is still swollen I think. I can't eat much still. I think I'm experiencing what I should have been feeling all along, but I just tried to eat a toastada, and couldn't even eat half without it coming back up. Did I damage my band you think?

Hi there,

Try a warm drink to relax your stomach...like tea. (Off the record.....you could try a bit of wine...that always worked for me....)

When I first got my band, 9 years ago, what you experienced happened to me at least twice. My band was not damaged in any way. Believe it or not, throwing up affected my teeth.....the acidity from throwing up made my teeth prone to cavities ...which is what my dentist said. So I quickly learned how to avoid throwing up. Best of luck,
