Stomach Pain And Nausea...



Recommended Posts

I was so sick with a head cold last week, I didn't really think of my band. I was eating what I normally eat. And out of the blue on Saturday the hubby and I where on our way to our anniversary dinner and I started getting woozy feeling. Now all day Sat. I noticed fluids going in a little slower, but they'd kind of been doing that since the weather changed. We proceeded to Wal Mart for a little shopping, I thought I was going to pass out. So I figured we where already in town, to lets go sit down at the dinner. I ended up taking a zofran to stop the nausea and called the dr. He said it was probably from mucous. I did what he told me to do. Warm liquids and mucinex. I have not ate more than a couple of small bites since Saturday. I have this pain in my stomach... feels like I'm being stabbed and my port gets puffy and painful!? So I went to the reg. pcp yesterday and he thinks I may have an infection somewhere. Today I am going to band dr to get answers. I am usually nauseous about once a month, but not enough to warrant meds. I have complain about the pain in my sternim from the start and now it's horrible. I am getting scared and worried, I put my kids on the bus and came in and cried. I don't know how you all returned to work. And lead normal lives. I struggle with pain and nausea and sometimes can't help but wonder if my body is fighting the band? All of this happening with 3 weeks of christmas. I am suppose to start work next week... I'm lucky to get through the day at the moment. I don't have the strength for anything right now :( I have lost about 4 pounds since Saturday, I hate loosing so fast I get goofy and freezing all the time.

Oh, Im sorry, maybe your surgeon will be able to shed some light on it. You really need to try to drink some Water, and maybe you can slowly get a shake down. Water you most defintly need if you can.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
