I kept asking my Dr how would I know if my band slipped and he told me that I would continously be vomiting.

I think what's happening is the same thing that happens to a lot of us.

Right before your first fill you feel like there is no restriction at all.

I even gained a couple lbs. before my first fill! Initially you are swollen from the surgery and I think your body is adjusting so sometimes it feels like you can't get anything down. Then as you heal you feel like you can eat anything.

Once you go Wed you'll feel so much better. I only had 1 fill so far and I am scheduled Fri for my 2nd one and I can already feel that I need it !!!

It's a matter of finding just how much you need in your band to make you able to eat but feel real full.

Good luck!:wink2:

Any time you have unusual pain, Call your doctor. It may be nothing, but then again, pain is usually a sign of something. Your doctor is the only one who can judge that.

Hello All,

After reading and researching HEAPS...only when talking to surgeon did I realise that "slippage" is not the "band slipping", but the lower part of stomach "slipping" up past stoma (band) into upper stomach (above band) and it can happen when you vomit.

regards and glad you are feeling better
