I was banded 12-14 and felt ok on the 15. now that i am home, I am very nauseas and have a of pain, like i can feel every sip of Water moving through my system. Any ideas to help this????

They gave me a prescription for nausea, I'm guessing they didn't give you one? Or they might have, look for it in the packet of papers they gave you. It helped me cope.

I'm in the same boat, was banded the 14th was ok yesterday but today, I'm nausious, I can feel my esphogus spazem when I try and take a breath. I can barely drink anything with out wanting to barf. I just tried to eat a cup (prepackaged cups) of jell-o, got about 1/2 of it down (in about 10 minutes) and I feel so full that I want to puke again. Not sure if that is normal or if I should call my dr.

Pam,

Perhaps stick to liquids rather than Jello. That might help.

haha....it would be interesting to hear how you guys are doing now....I had the same darn thing. fine in hosp. then a few hrs after being home I was nauseous ALL THE TIME. I was banded on the 20th didnt get better till about the 24th...I think day 4 was a big turnaround day in terms of less pain, smoother breathing, and being able to "feel" every sip I know exactly what you are talking about...your chest hurts for a minute it feels really tight then goes away
