Hello Trish. I feel you have your band is way to tight. loosen it up and should should be fine. even now if i try to eat to fast my band will want to plug up and sometimes i have that feeling i need to vomit. So far, i have vomited 3 times and i didn't like it! Vomiting is bad for your band, possible it could break it lose from where it is installed and that would be bigger problems. Have doc loosen it way up and restart the process over. My docs in Scottsbluff give me a fill and have me drive a cup of Water to see how long it takes to go down. I don't have my band really tight! I could probably use it tighter but i want to eat, so i just work with my band. Its a little helper buddy for me and thats the way i look at it. My weight loss is slow and that is fine with me. It took me 25 plus years to put this on and if it takes 5 to 7 yrs to get off, thats fine with me. But every day that I'm alive, its every day that I'm reaching my goal weight loss. I honestly think you are losing to much weight in such a short period. Its not fun for you, so loosen it up a bit so you can go back to eating without vomiting! Weight loss with this band should be fun knowing that every day I'm loosing weight reaching my goal! Now, i go eat what i want but not as much. Remember this, take it slow and it will be more enjoyable. I know, i was really impatient, i want to have a whole different body look in less than a year. But really thats not realistic and unhealthy for you. Take it slow and eat healthy and enjoy the ride! Hope the visit to doc goes good. talk with him, let him know whats up and get your band adjusted properly. Hope this helps. Later Rock
