Bile all the time

[Marie485 0]

I have in this past week been having many problems, I can't eat without either throwing up or choking on the bile that constantly is coming back on me. All I've eaten is slim fast or yogurt and then a pudding. I keep trying different things but they keep coming back on me. I went about 6 weeks ago and was unfilled some and thought I was doing better but it just keeps getting worst. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and hope they do something because I can't stand the acid reflux. I don't feel like I'm losing weight because I am eating lots of carbs like potatoes because their mushy and go down easy.

Does anyone know what signs you get when your band has slipped?:help:

I can't offer a lot, I don't know too many signs, but click on Search on the blue toolbar near the top of the page and then click on advanced search, then type slip in the box on the left, then click on the down arrow below it and click on thread titles only. You will now see all the threads that have slip in the title. You could also write slipped in that search box. You also may wish to search for bile because I remember seeing another thread recently about bile around here. Good luck!!

Here's a thread a couple below the one you posted that may help:

Check out the complications forum (where you posted this thread), there may be some more info here for you to read while you are waiting for more responses.

hope everything is alright!

It sure sounds like you're too tight, and could benefit from a total unfill. This situation shouldn't be allowed to continue because it can damage your esophagus and lead to the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Please see your doctor as soon as you can for an unfill.

In the meantime, do what you can to ease inflammation. If you have or can get a prescription for Prevacid or Nexium, they can really help. Stick to liquids as much as you can. Be gentle!

Alexandra Thanks for your advice and I agree I think I need another unfil, but the last time they couldn't find my port. After the forth needle she found it, I was just about ready to say forget it but I knew I needed to be unfilled. I am nervous about going back but know I have to. I just might if this appointment doesn't go better start looking for a new doctor. I have been worried about my esophagus also but I just can't stop the vomiting. I think I need to really start watching what I eat and maybe that would make a difference. I have a presciption for Prevacid and it works every once in a while

I went to the doctors today and I had 1.6 fill so they took out the .6 and now I only have 1. I already feel better opefully this will work, wish me luck. I have lost 75.4 pounds total.
