hey all,

I had to go to the emergency room and was on IV. I was extremely dehydrated. I have to go back to the hospital again because nothing is staying down still. I will be admitted again to the hospital by tomorrow morning. Lately I have been thinking to myself....what did I do? This is an awful experience.

Jan 08,

have you had a fill yet? If not, did your surgeon give you an fill when your band went in? If yes for either of these questions, have you gone in for an unfill?

I'm so glad I found this! I spent 9 hours in the E.R. yesterday with the same issue. I couldn't get anything down and I became severely dehydrated. That was really, really awful. I should have come here and tried warm liquid first!! :rolleyes2:

I am so sick and tired of vomiting. It is the worst part of the lap-band. I love how I look, hate getting up to throw up so many times!

Lap Band Problems

[kymmie 0]

Last wednesday I got a fill and felt fine that night, the following morning I couldn't keep down liquids at all. I vomited all day.

Friday I didn't even attempt to drink in the morning (since that is when I am tightest), then that afternoon I was doing fine with liquids, so I tried some mushy food, but then I began vomiting again. After vomiting, I must have gotten swollen and it was painful to get liquids down again.

So, the last two days I didn't eat or drink in the morning, and sipped liquids all afternoon.

I am now feeling so much better, I don't think I need to go in for an unfill.

I also had a fill last wednesday and I am going back to the doctor tomorrow for an unfill. I did liquids wed,thur and fri. I did mushies sat & sun. I haven't vomitted anything but the feeling is very uncomfortable when I drink. Right now I am eating tuna fish and it is going down slowly. Sometimes when I drink Water I feel like I have a lump in my throat. Last night I woke up coughing and felt like I was choking on my saliva and that was the last straw! I thought I would wait it out and see if the swelling goes down but after that coughing last night I am going for an unfill. It is so important to drink so you don't get dehydrated. Yesterday I drank about 60 ounces of Water but it was uncomfortable most of the time.

I haven't felt any discomfort today, but I have been really careful because I'm sure the vomiting had caused me to get too tight and I don't want to experience that again.

lisainbohemia, if you're still feeling discomfort than I doubt it will get any better as any swelling from the fill should have gone down by now.

Lap Band Problems

Why are you vomiting all the time? You are not supposed to vomit with the lapband. Have you told your Dr?

[short1 2]

So sorry to hear you are having so much trouble. When the vomiting happened to me, I waited three weeks before I told my Dr. He was very upset and removed most of the Fluid in my band. He explained how I could lose the band due to slipping and or damage my throat. I hope you get better soon you are probably very swollen and will have to take it very easy for a week or so. Good luck.

Does the band get tighter as you loose weight? I am thinking thats what my nurse tech said....
