wife support

Hi my name is Fred. My wife (Kim, Married 18 years) decided to explore banding last May, Kim said you do all the research and I'll make all the appointments. I found this site and it was an incredible help to me in understanding what to expect and ask the right questions. She was banded on 8/30 and is having a rough start. I wasn't taken by surprise due to months of reading everything I could get my hands on, but I am still concerned, since I also have learned everybody reacts differently. Thanks for all the help over the last months, Fred

Hi I'm Fred,first let me explain, it was my wife that was just banded. I have been educating myself through this amazing website since she first started exploring banding,and it was a HUGE help when talking to the doctor to know the right questions and understand what to expect (Thank you all). My wife (Kim) was banded in the AM and by evening was doing laps around the hospital (slowly) by evening she felt a lot of back pain and gas but had a great attitude (meds helped the pain) anyway she came home yesterday and was immediately overwhelmed with nausea and she vomited a little. she seems to get mild hiccups that make her feel sick. I talked to the doctor and have a plan as to when I might need to take her back to the Hosp. She kept down about 16 oz of water overnight. Any similar experiences out there? She really does not want to go back to the Hospital but I'm not going to let her take any chances. Thanks again for an awesome site. Fred

Thanks to you all! Thank God, the nausea stopped and now it just seems to be gas and back pain. I shouldn't say "just" to her pain, but compared to how bad she looked Friday this is relatively minor. She has been walking the neighborhood (seems to relieve the pain)

Thanks guys! Dr called and took her off the Pain meds, she kept down 16 oz of water since 6 am, and walked outside a little. You guys were right on the money. Thanks again
