Anyone else have trouble with excessive vomiting?

[sdakotaRN 0]

:help: I was banded last November and have only lost about 30 lbs. I vomit nearly every day and most of those days it is several times. :cry I had a Barium Swallow done yesterday which showed everything is flowing as it should, no constrictures. Band is in place, no slippage. I have a return appointment with my surgeon tomorrow to follow up on the swallow study. Is anyone else having these problems? I am so frustrated and really wishing I didn't have this banding done.:angry

Vomiting is really for a person with a band. What does your doctor say is causing this?

That I will find out today I HOPE. He ordered the Swallow Study hoping that there was something else causing my prblems. Now that that is not the case, will see what he says today.

Wonder if you are too tight? How much are you filled.

check to see if you have H-Pylori.....it is a common bacteria that reeks havoc for anyone with a band!!!! You need to have an endoscope to find out--if so a course of antibiotics...well worth the effort!! Usually one course of treatment is needed for your entire lifetime!!!! Good luck!

I only have 1.8 cc in the band. I saw the dietician today as well as the surgeon. We have decided to return to Stage 3 of the diet for 2 to 4 weeks and see where we stand. If I am doing okay and lose 2 to 4 lbs then in 4 weeks he will give me another fill. It has now been about 10 weeks since I last had any Fluid added to the band
