I Need Some Help Advice. Banded On Monday And Having Issues



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Monday and the funny thing is I felt great on Monday. At least 5 hospital staff told me I looked great !! My doctor requires and overnight stay and I woke up Tuesday to a whole different ball game. Severe nausea to the point that they wouldn't discharge me until Wed afternoon. They think it was a reaction to the narcotics so I am not allowed to take any pain medicine. Trying to suck it up , drink and walk but now I have severe yellow diarehea( sorry to be so graphic). I thought I prepared myself but I am so sick and I just want to cry, I am sure if will get better but I just wanted to hear that from someone who has been there.

I haven't been there but please keep yourself hydrated. I know that you are either constipated or have diarreha........most are constipated. It will get better, just keep sipping.

The liquid diet does that. And then the meds from surgery. Once you get on mashies it returns to normal;)

I had the same exact problem. The morphine was too much so they switch my pain meds. It gets better. Promise!

All I can say is I wish I had diarreha right about now, the other option isn't that fun either.

Hi. I got the diarrhea too. I think its the anesthesia because i had back surgery last year and the same thing happened. Sorry you're feeling so lousy. I remember feeling the way you are. I was banded 6 weeks ago snd i feel great now and have lost 38 pounds already. Hang im there. You will feel better before you know it!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
