What happens if you actually need to throw up for some reason other than eating wrong? I mean, if you just have flu or something and need to throw up, what happens?

It might take longer for the food to come up, like in the past I'd throw up a bit after realizing I was nausiated (sp) now it's like it has to bubble and brew for a few hours. Then, violently the contents of my stomach (below the band) come up.

Really, your body will take care of business.

I usually have a fill around 2pm..Dr. says have a Protein shake after fills and nothing else other than Soup, until the next morning.

Also..he says the REASON for PB'ing is eating too fast and taking too big of bites. His rule is no bite bigger than a nickle..now let me tell you this..when I started slowing down and taking the small bites; I haven't had a problem.

I thought I was too tight from my last fill and after a fluro, he told me the (pointing up) above information. I haven't had a problem since..Try it.

I PB frequently since my re-op.. But, I am trying to relearn how to eat, I had adjusted to post-band eating, and now it's post-band post-tightness eating.. trial and error. I PB at least once a day.. none of mine last for hours, the sliming can be horrendous sliming, and I get the golfball pain, but once I am done sliming I have no pains anywhere else.. I stop eating whatever I was eating after this happens, but I was not advised to go on liquids, and if I went on liquids, I'd not be eating food for a week now, and I would not be learning how to correct it!

I guess every doc is different? I don't feel like anything is irritated when I have an episode, I just get this feeling of "Damn I wish I hadn't swallowed/chewed/eaten like this".
