My husband just had the band on 4/3/14 and I have been to every appointment with him. My biggest struggle is watching him getting sick all the time. I hate to see him this way. He has had vomitting since the surgery. We called the nurse and she just says make sure he stays on the clear liquid diet. We have done that but everything he drinks comes back up most of the time. He takes his meds as prescribed, walks and does everything we were told. I know it is wearing on him which makes it hard for me also. When does it stop and he can feel somewhat normal again?
