Ugh! I am currently fighting a nasty stomach flu and I am unable to vomit because of my band.  I just did a bunch of dry heaving and gagging, and although nothing came up, I do feel a little bit better.  I really don't want to call my Dr. and have them remove my fill.  Any advice??

 Hi there!! I am "pre-band" so I don't know if my answer will qualify, but here goes: I have a sensitive stomach, and was asking my surgeon what I would do if I get sick to my stomach and etc. He said that he could take out the fill till I'm better (what a hassle!!) but also - he is giving me a standing Rx for anti-nausea medicine. I wonder if your Dr could call in a script for some of that??
