Two week and 1 day

I have been nauseated all day since early this morning. Even post op I have never vomited. Today I had an episode of dry heaving. I am worried now that I disrupted the staple line. Am I being irrational? Nurses make the worst patients sometimes. I need some peace of mind...

Yes we do. I'm still in the hospital right now post op day 4 infact arguing to go home. Been dry heaving the whole time and I was worried about the same thing. So far no issue with leaks or staples concerns. Surgeon says its mainly lifting that strains the line or overeating. By the way I have kicked out one snarky male charge nurse, fired one ER doctor, and filed a complaint about the transferring nurse not notifying my doctor of my transfer delaying care for 3 hours. Yes, nurses make terrible patients. We are our own worst enemy.

Wow you're having a heck of a time. I never had any nausea until today. The only thing I've done different is started "eating" a little later today. No new foods and I have no meds for nausea because its never been an issue. I had to do the alcohol swab trick twice. Are you familiar with that?

I came on today to check on you. Glad to her you are ready to go home. I too am a Nurse. Waiting to get approved for a revision. Praying for your speedy recovery

Have to stay one more night. Its because of the damage the slipped lapband caused as to why I am so sick. I vomited for months before they figured out it had slipped. So the surgeon says look if you have a leak, you will be here 3 months to 1 year because we cannot go in and suture it shut. You have to wait for scar tissue to form. Sounds horrible. So I am staying.
