I was banded on May 16th and yesterday 05/19/11 I ended up in the ER per my surgeon. I was dehydrated and very sick to my stomach.

 

They kept me there for a few hours and gave me some IV's to rehydrate me. They also gave me some naseau meds. I felt good when I left there. Although when I came home I still cant seem to get anything in. I managed to get 1/2 cup chicken broth and about 6 oz of crystal light in through out the day. Im too full and the gas in my belly is awful. I have no cravings for food and the liquid diet is just fine with me for now . But trying to jam in the amount of fluids they want me to take in seems impossible. I do not want to end up back in the ER. Any one else having these issues? I'm so tired all I wanna do is sleep.

 

I know once I get through this stage things will get better. I'm walking constantly to get relief from all the gas in my belly. I had no gas pains till the 3rd day after surgery. Also everytime I sip I get the pains in between my shoulder blades, which they say is gas pains? I can not burp as it hurts like hell and the hiccups are horrible!

 

 

 

Anyone else have this happen to them? Also the scale is very discouraging to me. I came home weighing 7 lbs more than the day of my surgery. My Dr says its from all the gas and IV's. I hope so. I'm taking in less than 200 calories a day at the moment.

I had the gas pain for like 6 wks. It will get better. I hiccups are due to dehydration, (I read that online). Just try sipping, sipping, sipping. This will pass and you will be just fine. Right after surgery was my hardest time. Just remember that everyone is different so this is a great resource. About the scale.... Some people say its the enemy, LOL. If you know you aren't eating or drinking high calorie drinks then your Dr is right. I am 10 months post op and I have lost almost 130 lbs. After this hard part passes just stick to a low carb diet and the weight will fall off! The best is yet to come. Take it easy!!!

I was banded on may 5th and was in the hospital on may7th dehydrated also I had been vomiting all day May 6. I didn't have anything coming up but it hurt very much. Something my doctor said is to sip all my liquid, also sugar free popcycle help alot. Once you get threw this phase you'll feel good about getting it done.
