I was banded with stomach plication (anyone else have this?) on the 27th. I had horrible nausea and dry-heaving the first two days which was extremely frightening and painful. Feeling much, much better now, but having a hard time deciphering what my body is trying to tell me when it comes to food. I'm only hungry first thing in the morning, but make myself eat every 4 hours (liquids only). I have strange sensations in my belly about 30 minutes after I eat, sometimes a little uncomfortable...what is that?? Also, unless I am sitting very straight and upright, I can feel a hardness near my sternum, which I'm assuming I my band. But I didn't think I should be able to feel it!!?? Maybe it's still from swelling?...
