Katro 0 Posted January 20, 2009 New to site! From Massachusetts, I was banded on 3/14/07. Very successful no issues, recovered quickly back to work in less than a week. Starting weight 259 todays weight 167...I am at 2 cc's I believe and have been for almost a year and my vomitting seems to be getting worse every day. I do have good days and bad days but lately it all seems bad! I had an upper GI a few months back to see for band slippage but it came back fine. I've tried drinking hot tea before eating etc... nothing seems to help? Any suggestions should i take some Fluid out of the band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainmomma 0 Posted January 20, 2009 I would call your Dr anyway, Things could have changed since the last Upper GI, you just never know, better safe then sorry. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherO 7 Posted January 21, 2009 Taking some Fluid out of the band should help. I found that after I was banded for some time, I could no longer tolerate as high a fill level as I could in the beginning. Another thing to keep in mind is that vomiting/pb'ing does cause swelling. If you have a problem and don't go on liquids for a day or two . . . it could be that you stomach just doesn't have enough time to recover from the first episode and you are tighter than normal.
