Threw Up

[Lyoness82 21]

I am 5 weeks post surgery. I have an empty band. Today the fam ordered Chinese food. So I decided to have a little. I think I was so hungry I didn't pay attention to my chewing. I ended up throwing up. This is the first time I have thrown up since being banded. I'm scared now. What are the chances I made my band slip? I already know I shouldn't have eaten it so no need to tell me that lol.

I threw up 5weeks post op..with no fill..my doc said it would take a lot to make it slip..did you heave hard or was it just from your throat?

very unlikely You probably just did a PB(productive burp) because you probably did not even have your food get into your stomach to vomit. Slips come from excessive vomitting . You should be fine, just calm dawnand maybe stay on liquids for the rest of the day. Best wishes.Karen

At first it was a productive burp. But after that first expulsion, my stomach got a really icky feeling, my mouth watered and I gave one heave, stuff came out from what looked like my actual stomach not my pouch. It wasn't very much as I haven't eaten all day, but it sure wasn't fun. It all started with that painful feeling you get when something is stuck, it feels kinda like you can't breathe. That part is worse then the actual throwing up.
