how can i stop from throwing up i am literally praying to god to help me not throw up im not even sure why i feel like this i just woke up like this totally sick to my stomach! its very scary i dont know what to do

sades i haven't slept good since my surgery i dont know why maybe cause i had so many problems anexiety im not sure what but i need some good sleep i know that ! lol

is that zofran for nausa ? i havent taken any pain meds at all except tylenol extra strength so i dont think it would be that it might just be the mixture of a horrible tooth maybe a little viral thing a little bit of loose stool and upset stomach i dont know! anyways how are you feeling only 2 days post op patty?

your right day by day! normally you should feel alot better by 5-7 days post op i had alot of complications that most people dont so i think if you give it a week you will feel alot better!!!!

make sure if you apply with capital one that your doctor is a particpating in the program i got a loan from them only to find out my doc didnt participate gosh i was bummed! are you paying for the whole surgery or just a small amount ? THE HOSPITAL sometimes will work out or offer some financing! good luck!

no susan i dont think it is unusual at all to not want to know your weight i was on a diet plan a year ago and if i busted my ass all week and didnt lose it basically made me want to give up it ruined my day and my whole week so i think it is very wise if you feel that way about it at some point when you are ready go by a scale any only weigh in once a week this seems to work for me ! i can weigh myself in the morning ane literally be up 5 lbs like 3 hours later? its frustrating so ya good luck with your fill!

SADES thats what i thought too ! but ya 1-2 weeks clear liquids 3-4 weeks fulls liquids! 5-6 mushies after that very limited food intake from weeks 6-9 its making me crazy and weak im counting the days! till i can chew something i miss it! your bruising will go away after about a week you will notice the swelling and that will be where you notice your weight loss first is in your upper belly area! my incisions and port sight pain went away really quick and had little problems with that even from the start ! I had 3 c-sections so i guess i was prepared it was more the weakness extremely low blood pressure lack of fluid anemia and im fricken starving to death that has almost killed me! but it is worth it now i just want to feel better ! ALL my friends are like you still look horrible im like oh great thanks!i guess i look weak and pale ! so ya its all good ! take care

THE EASY WAY OUT NO WAYS!!!! with all the complications that i basically could have avoided by not having any kind of surgery is not the easy way out changing your eating habit forever not the easy way out having a medical device implanted under your skin forever not the easy way out! Dieting and saying oh i proboly shoulnt have that donut but i will not being able to have the donut because you know how sick it will make you is not by far the easy way out so ya we all did this for the same reason but it def was not because it was easier lol!!! GOD BLESS

im still on liquids unfortunetly , on thursday i start my mushys i cant wait! actually im going on 5 weeks not 4 i get confused it seems like it been so long i lose track of time lol! i do feel a little better today so lets hope!i just want to feel normal i knew this would be hard but i never new the toll it would put on my overall body now today i started my period so ya im just as peachy as can be lol! lol i need is a broken bone and ive covered all the bases ! beware people who are having this surgery done TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AFTER OR YOU WILL END UP LIKE ME! drink drink drink drink your water eat your protein and take your vitamins im starting to sound like my mother now but i just underestimated this whole surgery! i am glad i did it though i must say with everything now that has happened im still on board and glad i did it! 16 lbs down make it all worth it all! Good LUCK THANKS FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGEMENT ALL!!!!! GOD BLESS

i have a liittle pain on my side like sort of in my rib area almost like i ran too much or something anyone else have this problem im 3 weeks out of surgery its sort of weird! not super painful but uncomfortable!

im 3.5 weeks out of my surgery i felt very dizzy sick to my stomach the first 2 or 3 days or so but then i was fine i feel better tonite but still feel a little pucky i had a tooth pulled today also so that could be part of it tonite! just wanna feel normal again !

Hi all! yea! i am almost 3 weeks out feeling much better!!! im very hungry though!!! cant wait to eat food! of any kind at this point all liquid is horrible! Wishes i almost had to get blood becuz the doc thought maybe i lost too much blood from surgery and that i was enimec however its spelled lol! thank god i didnt need blood i just had 2 liters of fluid due to dehydration , i was drinking but i guess not enough ! i am very glad i am starting to feel somewhat human again it does get better people ! i was starting to think i made a mistake though the first week of all this its getting better each day! good luck to all!

Hi all i had my surgery on the 10/10 had a few minor set back i had low blood pressure and low respritations! the gas was killing started to subside a little though i still have chest pain is this normal is this gas or from the band/? HELP I ALSO FEEL SO WEEK IM NOT SURE IF IT IS LACK OF NUTRRIENTS THE LOW BP OR WHAT BUT I FEEL LIKE THE WALKING DEAD ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS HELP! IS this normal for lap band surgery and if so when will i feel normal again HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111:help::phanvan:rain::notagree:cry:confused::help::help:

how funny i see ! i hate milk all together i wish there was some other way i never thought this part of it all liquid clear liquid atthat would be so hard especially for 4 weeks omg i dont know how im gonna get through it but i guess people do so im hanging in there! thanks for the encouragement

i also am lactose in tolerant have you tried lactaid my doc told me to try it and it does help chew a couple right before you drink your milk!

i def feel my band not only do i feel it under the skin i also feel it between my chest almost like a reflux feeling ithink it gets better though it has for me so far lets hope!

ok you guys i had surgery on the 10th im 8 days out and have had a blood transfusion and 2 liters of fluid added to my body since then this is a major surgery everyone heals at a different rate i would say if your not feeling pretty good after a week go back in i never dreamt i would be getting 2 liters of blood 6 days after surgery your body will tell you how your feeling if you are still really week go in i was severely dehydrated and miserable i feel a little better today and i think i am going back to work this next monday i intended after a week but didnt happen no way i do have to say port pain and chest pains went away around day 4 or so if it wasnt for the low blood pressure lack of blood and fluid i would feel great incision wise and port pain wise good luck to all!

well hello everyone i finally feel like part of the living after i talked to you guys on sunday night things took a really bad turn for the worst monday morning i wound up back at the hospital passing out with almost death basically i lost tooo much blood during the surgery and too much fluid had a blood transfusion on tuesday afternoon and 2 liters of fluid omg i was so dehydrated and scared weeker than i have been since day of surgery i cannott stresss enough people drink your water keep hydrated i was so scared you guys lost 12 lbs since last wed 10/10 im not 8 days out and feeling sort of human again but still soooo tired but better! i am very hungry though fluids are not cutting it ! you guys all say not to have milk but my doc encourages at least 3 servings a day of skim milk or yogurt its my only protein but i am still starved it takes me no time to get full i also had extreme chest pains right after surgery and still randomly do to this day sort of scarey! i have to say so far i am not impressed please tell me it gets easier and that i made the right decisions to have this done so far i have been scared to death with all the complications hope every one else is doing well thanks for all the advice !

i think i might be a little dehydrated my pee stinks i know that is gross im not drinking my water your right and my bp is 108/60 which is very low i think im going to docs tommorow i was suppose to go back to work today and i know i cant go back even two days from now because i am so weak! i feel like im gonna die literally im kind of scared! thanks for all your encouragement!
