Stargurrl* 5 Posted July 15, 2011 Yesterday around 530 out of nowhere I got really bad stomach pains and it was under my ribs for the most part. I thru up and had a bowel movement....wasn't much relief at all. I took pepto bismol which stil wasn't too much relief. By 1030 I was feeling a little bit better....enough to get out of bed finally. And here I am the next morning still crampy but nothing like last night. I've only been drinking Water bc I'm afraid I could have hurt my band ( that was my first time throwing up) I've only had one fill so far and really didn't have restriction, I've never gotten stuck either. Any suggestions or advice are appreciated. I'm hoping this was just a touch of a stomach virus and nothing to do w/ my band Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping this was just a touch of a stomach virus and nothing to do w/ my band awww sorry to hear you are not feeling well =( mr Dr gave me a rx for ondansetron odt, it is for nausea and vomiting. i keep it with me at all times just in case the tum tum virus strikes ! also i have the papay extract at all times too. maybe ask ur Dr for something to help with it, YOU DO NOT want to throw up, its kinda bad for us bandsters, so id call ur Band Dr and let them know =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stargurrl* 5 Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks for the reply : ) I was just curious/confused as to whether or not this could be a band issue? I guess I'll chalk this up to the nieces and nephews germs lol Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stargurrl* 5 Posted July 20, 2011 *Update* So that was a negative on the stomach virus. In hospital as we speak. I'm getting my gallbladder removed tomorrow a.m. Apparently I passed a stone but it got caught in my bile duct. I had a procedure today where they went in thru my mouth and down to the duct and removed the stone that was stuck. Some signs to look for pain in back and under my ribcage, vomiting, my urine looked like iced tea ( my liver wasn't functioning properly b/c of the blockage) I hope no one else has to go thru this but hust in case you'll know what it is. : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
