This is my question. Is vomiting and pb'ing the same. i was told to avoid vomiting at all costs. But I thought vomiting is bringing up the acids and all from original stomache and pb. was just :ohmy:bringing up what is in the pouch??? After my last fill (first one that seems i really have restriction) I have acid reflux . Also when something gets stuck, if it doesn't come up, I help it too, to get relief. Sometimes)... I thought if it was still in the pouch, it was ok, since I read threads that alot of people write what they eat and then say (it came back up) etc...I have been putting off getting an unfill, thinking it would go away. I am at my goal and am happy with where I am, but don't want to gain it back. I do ok when I really watch and cut everything small, I get a gurgle or burp after eating a small amount and know if I keep eating it will end up coming up...sometimes the slime feels like you are not getting air unless it comes up. I also think after PB ing I don't give it a chance to heal.. What are anyone's thoughts. I think I might need a slight unfill. After reading about the slips, and erosion, I am scared. thanks Judy

I feel the same way! I'm wondering if I need an unfill. Since my last fill, I cant eat or drink much of anything without having to gack it back up... even liquids!

I started a new lap band Dr. I was told to go for 24 hrs. with only liquid or Protein Drink, then try soft, then go and try solids. I haven't been doing that, and would continue to throw up, keeping the band irratated, now it has been 2 months and I haven't thrown up at all. So try that, it worked for me.

I did get the unfill (slight) after the problem with heart burn, and that was a yr ago, and no more heart burn. and only pbing when I don't chew well, and then don't follow the advise, to go on liquids after pbing for atleast 24 hrs.

My doc's nurse just called and said to go on warm liquids for 2 days. She also said that my stomach might be irritated from all the gacking. If I dont feel much better by Friday, she wants me to schedule a visit to have some Fluid removed next week.

Keep your fingers crossed for me that that's all it is. My doc is a 4 hour drive away, so I'm hoping this warm liquid thing will do it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
