I had my surgery on Dec 10, 2012, but now 5 months later I am not loosing weight. I go down 7pound and then gain it back over 2 or 3 days ever dropping below that 7 pounds. What am I doing wrong?? I can hardly eat, vomit daily, usually 4 or more times a day. It's usually clear liquid and can happen even with just drinking Water. Has anyone else had this issue???

Also I had my last fill over month ago and this problem only started 2 an half weeks ago...

Vomit? As in full blown hurling, or just regurgitating, or PBing?

i would call you doctor and see what he says. i didnt lose weight until my band was properly adjusted. each person is different but your situation doesnt sound healthy if you are "expressing" that often in a day. also depends on what you are eating as well.

Also I have appointment to see my doc in a week he's on vacation this week...it's only been since the 10th that this started before I was fine able to eat several small meals a day and no problems. Do you think maybe my ban slipped??

Slip, dilation? Something's wrong? Get in as soon as you can and try to stick to foods that won't irritate the band and cause more vomiting.

It sounds like you could be too tight, and it doesn't necessarily happen immediately after a fill, scar tissue can and does build up under the band producing a tighter feeling. If and when you can drink something without vomiting try something warm first then Protein, shake or Water. sometimes it helps to just sip sip sip. Please keep us posted !!

You need to get I'm sooner if you can. Vomiting daily and.keeping nothing down is a recipe for complications..... Good luck.

Well I do burp if I drink anything...I am thinking this is a combo of things...i was out of town at work when it started and may have picked up a virus too. I find today has been the worst, couldn't even keep down a slice of cheese and I usually can eat that...if I drink anything it bubbles back up and I end up loosing that too. It's getting worse by the day...have headaches and vertigo horribly. Thanks for all the advice and comments. Might have to go to ER if I can't keep hydrated.

Could be a virus or bowel obstruction or possibly Something wrong with your band. Make sure to go to er if you can't keep liquids down. Will cause dehydration which leads to acute renal failure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
