Think My Stomach Is Bruised??

[down in the dumps 5]

Hi lads, I have band since July and I had a vommiting bug at the weekend and my stomach is so sore today . Feels like its bruised. Even when I was getting sick it was horrific, my whole stomach felt like it was coming out of my throat !!! Has anyone else been through this? I've no problem eating, it's just really sore. Any answers would be helpful, thanks x

Knock on wood, have not had this since banded. But, I usually get it once or twice a year because of the nature of my job. My stomach was sore even then, you are probably OK, but I would call my doctor.

Hi:

I think that anytime you having alot of throwing up it disturbs your muscles in your abdomen, whether you're banded or not. You should check in with your lap band doctor if you're having any difficulty at all. My surgeon tells us to call if we are throwing up for any reason.

Good luck!

Thanks girls, I feel a lot better today. It's not sore now, I just panicked as I'm afraid that il pull the band or break it some how from getting sick.

I defo don't want to get sick ever again!!!! Very frightening!!!!!
