Lap Band With Gastric Plication

[Calamity Jane 6]

I feel like a bag of assholes.

I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because of the nausea. I'm home now and still nauseous, can't keep down the pain meds and am apparently screaming in my sleep because it hurts to move.

Does anybody have any experience with this? How long can I expect this nausea to carry on?

I was banded with plication on 4/16, I was sore for a couple days but by day 3 was much better. I didn't have too much pain. Hang in there, it will get better!

Thanks! I'm trying to, I just hate feeling this crappy. I'm not counting the day of the surgery as day 1 - more like day 0. Day 1 was May 1st so this will be my Day 3. I'm really hoping I start to feel better soon. I'm glad you didn't have much pain - that's awesome!

I had plication as well and it HURT! Ugh! Luckily, I was able to tolerate taking Zofran to keep away my nausea. On day two, I honestly thought what have I done! I could feel the pain in my stomach. BUT it did get better and while I sometimes still have band pain, I don't have any more plication pain. It was really, really hard to get in enough fluids though. It would take me an hour to get my Lortab, Ibuprofen, and Zofran down because I was afraid of the pain. I also didn't think I would ever be able to eat any amount of food again. It was a rough couple of days. I am 10 days out and feeling much better. We'll see how much plication helps with losing weight. Maybe your doctor can give you some additional meds for nausea? I also slept a lot to get rid of my nausea. Good luck.

Can you ask your doctor for suppositories for nausea? I had them when I had surgery as I was so nauseous that I couldn't eat, drink, much less move. Pain medication made me sick also. Although gross, the suppository too away my nausea and let me sleep. I only had to do it 1-2 times. Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon.

Another interesting thing they had me do in the surgery center for nausea was to smell rubbing alcohol prep pads. I had never heard of it before, but it worked. So even at home if I felt it coming on I could smell the alcohol and it calmed my stomach.

Hopefully you are feeling better today!

I just got the banded plication done on 5/1. They released me from the hospital pretty late because I couldn't keep anything down, even after I got home I kept getting sick. Today is day three for me and the pain is pretty much gone, just sore and a tiny bit of nausea if I drink too much Water. I hope you feel better soon!

I was also banded and plication done on 5/1 at Rose with Dr. Snyder... How are you doing? Today (5/4) is really the first day I feel human. Still sore and tired but at least I think I am getting better.

I had the band with Plication in Sept 2011. The nausea subsided pretty much within a few days. However over the first couple of months I occasionally had a bout of it. Now it is nonexistant. I lost about 40 pounds without a fill until Feb 2012. My portion sizes were getting bigger and although I was still losing it was way too slow for me. I am glad I had the plication done as I never actually went through "Bandster Hell" because of it.

I am considering lapband with plication by Dr. Snider as well and have a consultation with him on the 16th. Would you say it has been worth it? Being so new I worry about getting it.

Honestly' date=' he is the best! I have experienced very minimal pain, it is def not as painful as I had anticipated. I know that it's all thanks to him, I was really scared because of some of the comments but went on with it anyways and I am so glad I did. I lost almost 14 pounds just since the surgery which was on may 1st. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns...I know I was looking so bad to find someone that had gone through the same procedure but had no luck!

[ilikebunnies 48]

Thank you so much for the response! Yes, i have been looking desperately for every comment, forum, and research article that discusses plication with the band and there just isn't much out there. I will definitely keep in touch!

I had the band with plication apr 2nd. I'm down 20lbs! Im not gonna lie, my recovery was pretty tough the first 2 weeks but I feel great now! Nausea was the worst, but everyone is different. I skipped my first fill caz I didn't need it caz the plication is plenty of restriction. It's crazy how little it takes to get full now. My first fill is Monday and I'm still not sure if I need one. I think everyone should do the plication, weight loss is faster and it prevents from slips ) feel free to ask me any questions
