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

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 =)

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

*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. : )

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
