My name is Josh and my wife and I were banded on 9-20-07. Last night I took my pain meds around 9pm. From 1030 to 6 am this morning, i was violently dry heaving every 15 to 20 minutes. Is this normal? I am calling the doctor to see if she can change the pain meds. I also have not slept more than 4 hours at a time since I have been home. Other than this dry heaving problem, everthing else seems to be going ok. If someone can please help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Josh

Yeah...it happened to my friend who was banded a couple of weeks ago. The doc changed her meds and gave her suppositories to stop the heaving. Don't wait for the office to open...this is serious and you should call and leave a message with the service. Your band is most prone to slippage in the first 6 weeks and the heaving can cause a slip. Best to get that under control immediately.

Best of luck to you and your wife. DH and I were banded this summer and we're both doing great! It can really bring a new deminsion to your marriage relationship :)

Hope that takes care of the problem. I'm sure it will get better. My DW and I were banded last winter about 3 weeks apart.

Good luck to you and your wife with your recovery.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
