  1. Hi all I'm in New Zealand and had a band put in palace three weeks ago. I had a few tiny problems afterward - I always vomit after surgery and despite best measures, did so three or four times the day after my operation. Empty stomach, so just air, but unpleasant. Still unwell two days later, my surgeon, who is great, did an unfill (10ml band, I had 3.5ml in). All ok now, stomach settled, shoulder pain passed. But now, I just feel like I have vague indigestion all the time. I can eat a reasonable amount, but am trying to keep the volume down, trying to remember to drink before eating etc. But even long after a meal I feel it there. I'm due to have a fill next week, 8th, and so can ask the surgeon then, but meanwhile I have a small worry that the vomitting has dislodged the band, or pushed stomach through it, as people talk about from time to time. And of course a worry about the cost of putting that right! Can some of you that have had a band a while tell me, can you feel it? Is the slight indigestion/heartburn feeling normal? Thanks Biddy
