most likely time to throw up

[kplant 0]

This question is sort of two fold. I threw up food that got caught maybe 4 times in the last week. Small amount (it got caught when I started eating). It was always after 7 pm or so. The last time I chewed more carefully than usual but is there a time when I am MORE likely to throw up? I thought it would be in the morning but I don't really eat Breakfast and, when I do, there are no issues.

Second question is, could this throwing up have damaged the band? This throwing up is totally recent (I only threw up once before and was banded dec 1)

Definitely the mornings and I too find myself tighter in the evenings. It seems I have this 'window' in the afternoon where I can eat something.

By 'throwing up' do you mean 'bringing up' food that is stuck in your esophagus? Sometimes I just cough and it comes out. If you are regularly "throwing up" you should see the doc.

hmmm. I have no idea where I throw up from. I just feel sort of bad (heartburn like), if I have hiccups, I know to stop. I then throw up some. I think it was actually in my stomach. If I don't eat at night or eat very soft foods, I don't throw up.

If it is actually throwing up, you will have stomach acid mixed with it and it will be probably at least an hour after you eat. If it is the food mixed with saliva, you are just pbing. Not pleasant either, but better than throwing up. I don't think it is good to pb a lot. I don't actually know if it will harm your band. You should call your surgeon's office and ask them. You may need a very small unfill if it continues.
