Is my band too tight?
I had my surgery back in October and lost 14 pounds very quickly then I stopped losing. A week ago today I was tightened for the first time and I am having a hard time keeping any food down. I had 1 scrambled egg this morning and ate about a quarter of it and now I feel sick again. I have thrown up at least once a day for a week now. Is this normal? Do I need to chew longer? Wondering if I need to be loosened...Please advise.
My first advice - call your Doctor. That's why they are there.
Secondly, try taking smaller portions and chewing more (at least 30 times - so it's like baby food). Then wait 30 seconds between swallowing and taking another bite. If you stilll throw-up you're too tight and need to go to the Doctor ASAP.
