I can't hold anything down....

for the last week I have been unable to keep food down. I think my band has flipped.

Call the doctor! This is not okay. It's still afternoon so hopefully you can reach some one in person. There could be many reasons for what you're going through but your medical professionals need to see you to make a diagnosis. Best wishes -- let us know how you're doing! But call. Call the doctor.

@@ms.lissa@@lafaye999 follow up please....how are you ladies doing?

I hope this eases your mind a bit:

It's impossible for the band to FLIP. Slip, yes, possible & serious.

Def get seen asap

It could be that you're too tight - an easy fix.

*praying for the best possible outcomes for you both!

Thanks Everyone for the thoughts and gestures; however I've been seeing a chiropractic and X-rays were Completed. Band is in tact but a bone aligned to my esophagus was completely out of place. After the doctor completed a few of her medical techniques in office I was like brand new. She states that it was causing acid reflux bad. And she was right.

Lafaye999 am so glad you saw a doctor and have now been sorted out!

I also saw my doc and he sent me for the barium swallow test and a H pylori test (which was negative) The xray showed the band was intact and flowing albeit slowly..the doc noted the port turned a little likely because of throwing up so now its really a no-no or else it may slip. so I have new tips on eating real slow and it turns out I do not need a fill at all for now seeing as its working as it should ..

Meanwhile I also had major acidity which caused so much slimming i could not keep stuff down for long.. The doc prescribed Rabeprazole for acidity and Metoclopramide for nausea. Feel more relief am still on liquids but there is definitely relief and thankfully I can now drink even Water. Will introduce soft foods soon.

Thanks so much for concern too. A lot of the experiences here were super helpful..I was a little frantic with worry. Meanwhile lost almost 6 points on BMI hoping for the best and wishing everyone the same.

Happy belated Thanksgiving for those in USA.
