Newly Banded, Very Nauseous, Lot's Of Burping..

[graceful3223 1]

I was banded on wed Dec 14. Lot's of issues so far. I have been contiously nauseous, dry heaves. Unable to hold anything down. Not even a sip of Water. Called the Dr. on Friday, hey said to come in, That I should not be this nauseaos. So I went in and they said that when the band is put in they fill the band to make sure it's working. But don't always get it all back out. So then they took out 2ccs of Fluid. Felt much better at the time, but went home and still having these problems. This is day four. Seems to be a little better. When I drink anything, I have to be sitting up to make it go down. I hope it does get

better,having doubts.

GRACEFUL

When I was First banded on Dec 9th I was also nauseous when I ate things. But ot will get better its normal, make sure to get warm liquids should help with the nausea. As for the burping thats good! Its the gas from the surgery leaving your body and thats a good thing it will relieve some pain! Remember keep walking!

Good luck, Caroline.

Did they give you any anti-nausea meds? If not, call and ask for some. Heaving isn't good for us..plus, ouch!

2cc fill at the time of surgery is fairly common...having to have it removed afterwards is not uncommon. Hope you feel better after swelling goes down.

Take smaller sips and see if that helps the liquid to go down. As a note, being in an upright position is a must to consume anything for me. If I try to eat or drink anything while reclined, it will come back up. Gravity is our friend.
