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:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
