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:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
