Need Help Please

[jblonghorns 0]

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.
