Im 4 weeks out and have been in the ER twice for Vomiting and severe nausea, so I know how you feel. I got severely dehydrated! So make sure u are getting plenty of fluid. Ask the dr for zofran which is a anti nausea med, it helps so much. Also if it gets bad enough go to the dr and get an iv. I did have to have all the fluid removed from my band as well. I just took a lot longer than most to heal. So I know how you feel, just hang in there it does get better

Thanks. I did take some zofran and that seems to help, I'm just ready for this to go away!

I'm 3 weeks post surgery, had the new band with plication. I have been experiencing nausea just about everyday. I have had a few episodes of extreme nausea and even vommiting. But now it's more like a constant annoying nausea all day! Does this get better over time? Of course I've lost 18lbs caz I can't stomach much ((

I had it and still have it 3 weeks post op! It almost takes my breath away is stings so bad!

Ugggghhhhhh! A week! This is killing me

K so today is 2.5 weeks since my surgery . Today at work anytime I make a sudden movement I would get a shooting pain in my port area. It was just coming and going all day. Now just walking around or bending at all is giving me these stabbing port pains. They hurt so bad it almost takes my breath away! Is this normal??

I did call the dr, and the nurse said its normal and could last for weeks! Something about the nerves reattaching themselves, she didn't seem concerned, but I'm in some serious pain! It hurts to move!

Thanks! Dr Adam Smith in ft worth tx. I had the iband

Just had it on April 2, I'm down 14lbs in 2 weeks

I'm sure u can still get it?? Go to the thread band with plication. There is a woman Teri on there that had it in dec with dr smith, she's lost like 67lbs, I talk to her alot about it.

I did get it! And glad I did! I've lost 14lbs in 2 weeks I seem to get fuller alot faster than my friends with regular bands. Why are u scared?

They are called tonsil stones and they caz horrible breath! So be glad u coughed it up! Lol

Very well said jean. Thankyou! I'm in the process of reading ur book now, I'm one week post op!

Thought we can't eat solids yet? I'm 6 days post op and only eating liquids and mushies

6 days post op down 8lbs, wish it was more

I'm post op day 5, had band with plication. I have been having horrible cramping and diarehhea. Everytime I eat or drink anything substantial I end up on the toilet! Is this normal or happening to anyone else??!!

I'm not getting in barely any protein! My dr said not to worry too much about it this week, just to heal for now. I hope u get to feeling better soon...this will all be worth it!

I was banded on the 2 as well. I'm having a rough time as well, I even ended up in the ER on Tuesday night for severe vommitting and diarehhea. I was also extremely dehydrated. I've been having the diarehhea problem all week, it sux. I've cried and had my breakdowns but ultimately I did this to change my life. So hang in there it can only get better. Stay strong

Ya I've already lost 6 but probably caz I can barely eat! I had 1/4c of baby rice cereal with a little banana at 4pm and I'm still extremely full! Like painful full. It's the weirdest feeling. No my tummy is just gurgling and making crazy noises! Over this post op crud!

How much more do you want to lose? Think u need more restriction?

30lbs is awesome! Has it been hard? I'm hoping to lose 80lbs. Only down 6 so far but it's the first week

Plication is a new procedure they do with the band, I just had it done as well. Under ther band they fold ur stomach into a sleeve to create a smaller stomach w/o rerouting or cutting the stomach. It's a brand new thing called the iband . Gives you more of a full feeling cause it shrinks your stomach. Studies have shown to be very promising and people ate losing weight faster than with the band alone. Also fewer fills are needed and it lessens the likelihood a slippage or erosion I'm very excited to be a new iband owner! So far do good! 6 days post op

My surgery was 4/2 and it was $9988 includes a full year of fills that's in ft worth tx

Ok I took anti diarrhea med and it's stopped for now. I also read to eat baby rice cereal with mashed banana. I mixed it with water so we will see. Supposedly it's suppose to help "bind" things together.
