Hey everyone, so I'm feeling pretty stupid this morning, I went out drinking last night, didn't have a huge amount, never drank if I started to feel sick so I thought I was completely fine but I woke up this morning and felt really sick, tried to keep it down for ages until i eventually couldn't hold back nd I threw up :( it was just once but seeing as my op wasn't very long ago I'm worieworries, but my stomach feels fine, what should I do?

I was told not to drink for 6 months. Tough love but I am pretty sure that drinking is not on your 3 week dr's orders. I would be concerned at vomiting 3 weeks out, you are not healed inside. I would give your dr's office a call to see if they are concerned.

you really need to call your DR. You never wanna take any chances with your band.

You are most likely fine but I hope you will stay away from alcohol for a while. It's wasted calories and just isn't worth the effort. Drinking 2 drinks is most likely over a third of what your calorie intake is for a whole day.

That said if you experience any pain over the weekend I would call the dr right away.

Thanks everyone, i'm feeling fine at the moment, the doctor isn't open over the weekend so i can't call anyway, but if I do feel like something's wrong I won't hesitate to call someone.

Yes will definitely limit my alcohol intake, I was planning on it anyway, only to drink occasionally :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
