Nausea and referred pain



Recommended Posts

I had my lap band placed 2 weeks ago. Every time I get moving in a vehicle, I get nausea and referred pain in my back and shoulders. Is this normal? What can I do? I still cannot drive to work which is nearly an hour of driving. Any recommendations? Btw, I am still on the liquid only diet. Just started back on a watered down version of Protein Shakes a few days ago.

Hey Jaredboyd,Just looked at you weight lose. Surely thats not just since you had the band fitted????? You`ve done amazing anyhow :)

I still have a lot of pain especially when I drive and my op`s were start of March 14.

I find it eases slightly if i`m sat completly upright.

I dont drive too long at the moment but am hopeing to return to bus driving after 6 months post op.

Hope your pain eases soon

All the best with your weight lose journey.

I have lost 75 since I first met my surgeon in December: I cut sugar and most carbs. I have lost 19 since my surgery 2 weeks ago. This uncomfortable pressure and such is the worst part for sure. I am feeling miserable again today. Walking doesn't seem to help. I don't remember reading anything about all of this pressure before the surgery.

      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.
