Hey there! I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. I know it won't help you any but I'm in the same boat as you. Throwing up got so bad that I ended up back in the hospital. (That's where I am right now. Been here since Wed) My surgery was last Thursday. I told my husband the same thing you said, I want to rip this thing out and EAT!! Everyone keeps saying it will get better so, I'm gonna keep on keeping on, for now. Keep me updated on how you are doing. Maybe somehow we can get thru this together! Good luck! Kimmie

He's not saying much because he hardly ever comes around. But I've decided that when he stops in tomorrow morning, I'm going to stop him and make him listen and hopefully figure this out. They did decide today that they want samples so they can test for other stuff. (That wasn't my surgeon, that was a doctor who happened to be in the building and stopped by just to see how I was.) Thanks for your input...I was beginning to feel alone in this mess! :cool2:

Thank you again to everyone who has sent good advice my way. At this point it is much needed. I'm back in the hospital one week post-op. I can't keep anything down and got severely dehydrated and now have a kidney infection. I've been back in for 3 days now and today is the first day they let me try to eat and I feel like a rock is in my stomack after only 2 ounces of chicken broth at lunch (around 1). It is now almost 8 pm. Any advice?

Hi everyone! I'm getting banded two weeks from today and I'm starting to get nervous. I've read some really awesome reviews on here but I've also read some horror stories! Any tips would be very much appreciated!! Hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend!!:crying:

Thanks, I did call my doc and they said this should not be happening especially since I didn't have the gastric. They want me to come in first thing Friday.

Thanks Sabrina! I really appreciate the words of encouragement....my hubby has told me to stay off the computer cuz everytime I read something negative on here I call him and freak out! LOL It's good to hear that there are more success stories out there. I will do my best to be patient! How far out are you and how much have you lost??
