I had my band placed in july 2008 I have lost about 100 and still need to lose more, I just had a baby boy almost 4 months ago and gained only about 20 pounds with him and I have lost all that, I'm talking to a dr about a tummy tuck next week, But the last few weeks I have been throwing up all the time and the last 24 hours I have not even been able to keep water down, I have an appt today in about a hour to have some liquid taken out. and I hate that more then anything. But this morning I started have a pain where  my band it, I'm worried and stressed that I have done something really bad to my band and it is going to have to be removed. Any body have any word to help me chill and not freak out. of has anyone else had this happen?

Sounds like your band might have slipped.  If you can, drink something warm to help calm down, like sugar free Oregon chai with your choice of milk (the spices in the chai induce a state of calm).

Whether it is a slipped band or something else, you are getting it take of promptly. 

I'd say more but I suspect it would be counterproductive.

Went to the dr and he took out 1CC, I feel so much better and when i got up this morning the pain was 100% gone. The dr said that is sounded like my tummy was just upest and mad at the band. so it looks like all is good again, So now I just need to get back to working out and eatting what I know I need  to eat and not crap.

Did he do an upper GI?
Sudden problems like this can indicate a slip and some slips don't stay slipped once the fluid is removed. If this problem recurs, be sure to ask for an upper GI while you are having symptoms, not after the unfill.
