Not even banded yet and always queasy

tomorrowsdream · November 6, 2005

Ever since I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago I wake up queasy. If I didn't know I was too old to be pregnant and haden't been exposed I would swear I was pregnant. I'm wondering what the surgery is going to do to my already queasy tummy. I've heard people say their stomachs are sick. If mine were much sicker I couldn't stand it. I take compazine and was thinking of asking in advance for the Patches. Should I hold off on the surgery. Any advice out there from someone who has been there. Thanks. I don't want to make myself sicker. I always feel like I'm nauseated...horrible feeling and it doesn't go away without meds.

Wow, that's an unusual symptom I've never heard before. I don't know what if any effect banding will have on that. Is there any explanation for your feeling that way?

Usually when you hear bandsters saying their stomachs are sick or they have thrown up, it's a different kind of thing than actually feeling nauseated. I know for me anyway it's two completely separate sensations. But then, I almost never get nauseated, pre- or post-banding.

I never had this problem till I had my gallbladder out. My dr. thinks it is a hernia (it is in the upper right hand side of my stomach). However, during surgery the surgeon said "she nicked my liver" and put some durabond on it. I'm wondering is this where my liver is, or is this a dumb question. I know my gallbladder was on the right hand side, but this is like high on the right hand side. I'm so puzzled and it hurts to touch it, but not if I don't.
