I was so sick the last couple of days..I was banded on 1-22-10 and had no complications. The last few days at night I have been feeling bloated,nausea and tired. Woke up yesterday feeling just horrible, I could hardley get up to take the kids to school. As the day went on I was getting horrible chest pains between my boobs and feeling bloated and also felt the urge to vomit. As the day progressed I was down in bed after my first dry heaving (which hurt like hell)I called the Drs office and told them. They told me to come in the following morning. All last night I was sick with dry heaves and didn't eat,drink anything for 24 hours. Went to the Drs today and they said that the Dr flushes out the band in surgery and usually leaves something in there. I had 2ccs removed from my band today so now its empty. I am feeling better and up and moving around but am still getting the chest pain between the boobs almost like reflux. I hope it goes away by itself and I hope its just sore. So to all new banders if you don't feel good and get any pains go back into the Drs don't wait because it does not get better! I am back to full liquids for 2 days so hopefully I'll be 100% in a few days. I was really starting to worry about doing the right thing and even thinking to myself today maybe I should have it removed because I was in so much pain. Has anyone else had this happen and how long did it take you to recoup?

I'm surprised you got a fill that quickly. My doctor and most of what I've read you usually are waiting a couple weeks after surgery. I'm sure every doctor is different = ) I hope everything goes good for you from now on!:sifone:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
