Throwing up food too fast

[tmorrill 1]

Does it hurt the band when I throw up food that I eat too fast?

[MarieMarie 346]

Not for me

I understand that you are at a greater risk for erosion and slippage if you throw up frequently so it should be avoided as much as possible.

First, you're not actually "Vomiting" No one actually vomits from the band.

What is coming back up is what is above the band, unable to pass through either because its too large, wrong consistency which includes not chewed enough, and/or too much eaten to fast to give it a chance to pass through.

I have not yet actually vomited since being banded, and it is something I worry about.......

Yeah. I'm paranoid of getting gastro, I'm a crazy hand cleaner / sanitizer person anyway but the idea of catching gastro and vomiting non stop really freaks me out! Probably unwarranted, but what do you do in that situation?

Take gravol. sleep lots

Never heard of Gravol...I'm in Australia I'll check with my local pharmacy to see if we have anything similar available.

It is a anti-nausea over the counter medication that has the side effect of sleep

So looking forward to my life post this - so excited to start seeing the results!
