I am paranoid about my band, as a result when I see my doctor I come up with a lot of questions to ask him. During the last visit I asked him your exact question. He smiled at me, and said that it was next to near impossibe to dislodge the band due to vomitting. I even asked about heaving to the point where you have nothing left to bring up. He still said the band was tough. He did say that he did not recomment that we bandsters start "chucking" on a regular basis, and if we are feeling ill it would be wise to take care of one self.

If you have concerns call you doctor, and hopefully they can put your mind at ease. I hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery. Remember to Relax!:lol:

I think I got a bug from my son - I'm not puking...it the other route that I'm having trouble with - should I call my doc? I'm paranoid about hurting LB and getting sicker from not being able to hold any food. Help.

Flirty and BK, I hope you both are feeling better soon.

BK, maybe ask the doc if it's okay to have some Immodium? That usually helps me out when things are exiting too quickly. Haven't had it come up yet since banded, so don't know if it's harsh on the stomach. The packaging could tell you though.

Get lots of rest and feel better guys!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
