Tatyana Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hello, my friend told me about this site and I need HELP. I had the lap band put in Feb 2007 and I have gone from 290 to 219. I have not had any problems... Last week I got my band filled .05 cc and I cant keep anything down. Not even water, I dont feel any pain I feel fine. The only thing I feel is a restriction. I didn't want to go to my doctor because I have a feeling he will loosen it too much and then I will gain weight. Since last Wed i went from 227 to 219. Is this ok??? HELP ME PLEASE.... - Tatyana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat2nrml Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 You need to get fluids, you'll get dehydrated very quickly. Don't wait, contact your Doc and let him know what's going on and how much, if any, fluids you're keeping down. Let us know how you're doing!

Tatyana Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Ok, so I tried the Tea thing... I might have been drinking it to fast IDK, but it did not work... It came right back up. However last night my friend suggested I try milk and I drank it REALLY SLOW. It did go down, thats ok right??? I have been taking little tiny sips all day and at time it comes out other times it stays. My friend who has a band said that I should maybe wait to see if it loosens up. What do you guys think I should do? Thank you all for your support, Tatyana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 It sounds as though you need some unfill. I wouldn't wait. You will get dehydrated. You will lose weight, but at the risk of your health it is not worth it. if you cannot keep down water you need to get some taken out whether it is hot or not!

bandgroupie Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 When I had my fill, Dr. Romero said we should NEVER feel any type of restriction with liquids and if we do, to call IMMEDIATELY! Call your doctor, immediately! Hello, my friend told me about this site and I need HELP. I had the lap band put in Feb 2007 and I have gone from 290 to 219. I have not had any problems...

mom12 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 If you are too tight for any period of time Dr. O said that you could cause erosion to your band with would mean complete unfill or removal. It is not worth the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatyana Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hello all, Thank you so much for all the help you have given me. I woke up last night around 3am with a really bad pain where the band is I assumed it was because I was sleeping on my chest. Anyway I attempted to drink Hot tea, and I was able to keep most of it down YEAY!!!! Anyway, im not going to take the risk of my band slipping so I am calling my doctor @ 9am to see what he tells me. I hope everything is ok... I got my band filled last wed and I went from 227 to 216, 11 pounds which is great. However, its freaking me out i've never lost so much weight after a fill. Thank you guys so much for all your help and I will keep you updated on what he tells me... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimra Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Definitely keep us posted... its sometimes scary to lose weight that fast even tho it feels good. Your other organs can't keep up. Good luck and let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistyband Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 It's best to call your doctor immediately and tell him what is going on....liquids should pass through your band with No problem! Just tell him your concerns about taking out to much of the fill...it may take just a tad out to make the fill perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
