Jonnycat1 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Hello all. Was just banded on Friday. Can't keep a single thing down. Water comes up shortly after even small sip. Am still making urine, so the doctors think that some of the water is being absorbed in my stomach, but they are speculating that I may need to have some of the Fluid taken off of the band today. Anyone else experience this? I'm tired of throwing up and don't want to have slippage or band erosion from wretching so hard. Help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BandedCG 0 Posted January 6, 2009 I'm so sorry you are going through this! I didn't experience this -- My surgery was in October and I haven't puked at all. I hope they can give you relief at the Dr. office today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingMom 0 Posted January 6, 2009 So sorry to hear this. I hope the Dr.s can figure out what is going on soon and fix it. Please keep us posted, and know you are in my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lotzasunshine 2 Posted January 6, 2009 Hearing stories like this make me happy that my surgeon doesn't fill during surgery. I wanted it when I was banded, but he said he never did it. It will take you a little longer to get to a losing place now, but at least you will be able to keep down liquids. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentylwind 1 Posted January 6, 2009 I am so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds miserable. I had 3 cc left in my band at surgery and have yet to ever vomit, get stuck or PB. Let us know what's wrong and how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted January 6, 2009 I'm one of those whose surgeon doesn't put fill in until healed. thank goodness! He said "there's some primer in there, it's negligible" when I asked him. Please stay on top of it; you can get dehydrated really fast! I hope it resolves soon! That's just wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
