Constant nausea and left shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

Hey all

I was banded March 2015 and since then, I've had almost constant nausea (even when I don't eat) and last night I had an allergic reaction to something I eat fairly regularly (product containing soy) all day and the months leading up to this, I was nauseous every single day. I take phenegran to control it. I'm not getting much help from my surgeon, he hasn't called me back in 3 weeks. Also I had an endoscopy 3 weeks ago after not being able to eat for 4 weeks due to nausea and it turns out I had polyps on my stomach. I'm able to eat now but I'm always nauseous. I have asthma and allergies pretty bad and last night I had an allergic reaction that sent me to the e.r. they gave me a shot of steroids and benedryl to help and since then I am no longer nauseous. Other times before this, I've used steroids when I had the band and my nausea goes away.

My question is, do you think I am allergic to my lap band? This hasn't happened to me before being banded and I also developed a rash on my chest a few weeks ago (when I was having severe nausea that led to the endoscopy)

I have ZERO ccs in my band and have never had a fill. I've been able to lose 80 pounds since starting my journey but mostly due to the fact that it always feels liek my band is swollen and nausea.

Please help! I have no idea what's going on and I don't see anything in the forums about this anywhere besides things leading me to a slipped band which I for sure do not have because I've done two barium swallow tests and the doctor that performed the endoscopy said the band is in place.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
