Hello I was banded in nov 2011

I have just recently started taking Prilosec and have been throwing up at almost every meal before I started the medicine I never threw up has anyone else had this problem.

You were throwing up before you started the Prilosec? Why did you start taking it? Were you having heartburn or other symptoms besides vomiting? Did you start Prilosec because your doctor recommended it?

Sorry for all the questions, but it's impossible to give relevant advice without more information. If you haven't called your doctor for the vomiting, you should ASAP.

Like MsMaui stated, you did not give enough info.....

But I will go out on a limb here.....

prilosec and other such remedies are for gastritis, a common condition in which the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed and irritated.....with Lap Band surgery this becomes problematic because the inflammation can give adverse restriction, for some people making it difficult to swallow, keep food down......and as you say "throwing up"

You should speak with your Dr......but in the meantime, give it a rest! A time to heal....gentle non spicy liquids like Soups and other mushie foods....once there is inflammation, continued irritation will only prolong it.....and could lead to more serious conditions.....

People find this when they get fills....

I always go all liquids for 1-3 days now and then just for maintenance....a little preventive medicine, and also to relieve any dilation that may have taken place....

the word "erosion" concerns me very much, being 2 1/2 years out....so I am very sure to give things a rest.....

I was put on the Prilosec because they though I may have a ulcer which I don't. But I was eating fine would just get occasional pain in the center of my abdomen. Right above my belly button. I was eating fine before the Mexico I was just wondering if anyone else has had any problems like this after starting Prilosec its the only thing that has changed.

Maybe you're allergic to Prilosec & need a different acid blocker. No one here can really recommend .....you should call your doctor ASAP.
