nonono 0 Posted August 23, 2011 So, I have really horrible periods, which sometimes cause vomiting... this last cycle, I had vomiting, which was the first time its happened since my surgery in December. I couldnt stop writhing and dry-heaving and i was SO afraid the whole time because I knew that it could cause band slippage. For the next three days I couldnt keep any food down other than Water (although, i must admit, I was extremely stressed out as well). Since then (almost two weeks) I've been on and off with keeping food down and have woken up a few times in the middle of the night coughing because there was acid in my throat. I also have felt weird pain in my abdomen on my left side at times.. it almost feels like gas? i dont know.. does it sound like slippage? Im so afraid.. I dont want another surgery.. my first one was in Mexico and I had the worst complications and had to stay there for so long after.. I just dont want to go through it again.. any info? anyone go through this? help! and thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could be a slipped band or something else. You shouldn't wait around or guess based on "maybe" or "could be". Go find out for sure! Acid in the throat at night is a sign of slippage especially after throwing up constantly. You can recover from a slipped band so all the best to you on your journey!

That is probably caused from swelling because of the vomiting. You should probably go get a little unfill until the swelling goes down. That acid in the throat is horrible. Try sleeping with a couple extra pillows until you can get to the doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaNY 16 Posted August 23, 2011 i think it sounds like a slip, the dry heaving is a def sign. I had a slip and it sounds just like it. when you can not keep anything down, its a issue. i slipped from dryheaving, but also we are not Dr.s DEF go see a DR ASAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted August 23, 2011 I second the notion to see your doc. right away. I know traveling is a pain but your health is worth it. I don't know what it is, but you need to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
