amby

So occasionally I get the hiccups for no reason. Afterwards my port site aches and actually feels like a pulled a muscle. Have others experienced this?

So I know many of you will suggest that I am too tight, but I am not. In fact I only have 2.5 cc. But at least once a week I get really bad heartburn. I had this even before lapband but it is worse with the band. I do take prevacid daily. I also take other things when it comes on. It is awful …makes me actually sick. Any other ideas on how to get rid of it?

Thank you so much for the advice. I will pick it up at Walmart tomorrow and give it a try. Great job with your weight loss. I am also 2 years banded and have lost 60 lbs. It's like most things …good days and bad days but the majority of my bad days are due to heartburn. I too wake up choking on vomit and it scares me so. I hope this med helps me also!

Okay so I had my lapband surgery a year and a half ago. Experienced so much in this time. One thing I struggle with daily is nausea. It isn't that food gets stuck or I have eaten the wrong things. I honestly don't know what it is. I have a lot of problems with acid so I think sometimes that causes my nausea. Does anyone else have this problem? I sometimes get sick over liquids too. We have unfilled my band in case it was too tight and this wasn't the problem. I also notice that I am more sensitive to milk. Has that happened to anyone? Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated! Happy New Year!

I developed thrush after my surgery. I kid you not it was worse to deal with than recovering from the surgery...for me anyhow. Every time I had to swish with that antibiotic I wanted to throw up. And my mouth felt so disgusting with that bacteria. Hang in there. It's temporary.

I agree with you! Dr. Felix put my band in on July 1, 2010. I called them repeatedly to find out where I stood in the process beforehand. I also had to call a few times after surgery because I had questions on how I was feeling. They have been great. I am glad I chose to go to Hope Bariatrics.

I am glad to have found this thread but I didn't find any answers. I am 4 weeks post op and for the past few days I have been having horrible pain. It's under my right rib cage and shoots into my back up through my right shoulder. I am really concerned and scared that something is wrong. It hurts when I lay down and sometimes when I breathe. It's sharp pain. Please let me know what it may be. As I said, I am worried.
