Julie* 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Hi Everyone- I need some reassurance. I was banded on 2/21 and everything went well. I came home yesterday and in the middle of the night didn't feel good so I took some liquid oxycodone that had been prescribed. I started dry heaving and finally threw it all up about 15 minutes later. I am terrified that I hurt my band now! I spoke with my surgeon and he is having me come in later today to check me out but doesn't seem that concerned. I think it just scared me so much and the heaving HURT so much that it really threw me for a loop. Otherwise, I'm just sipping my Clear liquids and not feeling hungry at all yet. Has anyone else thrown up and not had problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julie* 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks for the replies. I spoke to my surgeon a little while ago and he agrees that it was most likely the pain meds that didn't agree with me. I haven't felt sick at all since then and have been tolerating liquids well even though they feel so funny going down! I am going in at 5pm today to meet with the nurse practictioner and the dietician but he doesn't think that I need to do another swallow. He said that if I had slipped I would be feeling more pain etc. Phew- I was so scared that I had screwed this up and I haven't even started! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunta 5 Posted February 24, 2006 Hi, We were banded on the same day. I too am having horrible nausea problems. I called my doctor today and he said stop the pain meds and switch to plain tylenol if I need something. He also called in a precription for an anti-nausea medicine. I think it's from all the meds I am taking. It's been difficult even getting Water down today. How are you feeling now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
