Just had Surgery Tuesday with some Problems



Recommended Posts

I just had the surgery and and I had some problems. After the surgery they tell you that you need to walk off the gas in your system. I walked all night and still had problems with nausea and stomach pains. After the upper gi series they realized the band was too tight and removed 3 cc's, I immediately felt better. Has this happened to anybody else?

One of the girls I work with had this happen..I didn't have any Fluid added to my band from my understanding. I was banded on the 7th.

Hope everything gets better for you

They haven't put anything in my band and won't until 6 weeks post op. Sorry you had troubles, hope you feel better!

Sorry you experienced this, One of the things is that after having this surgery your stomach needs time to heal after being thrown around and banded. My doctor told me that is why you need 6 weeks post-op to let things heal, I can't imagine why your doctor thought you needed to be filled already especially to 3cc? I'd ask him/her next time you see them. Glad your feeling better.
