Call your doctor: Check with your doctor you may be eating too much at one time or the band could be too tight do not recline within 3-4 hours of eating elevate the head of your bed try lower fat diet and you may want to trial a otc anti acid medication for the short term.

When to get checked: Vomiting after surgery is concerning. With a lap band you should be getting regular checks with your bariatric team. Okay to get in for an evaluation, to check for several possible problems with the band.
