I was banded 2/25 and did fine other than HORRIFIC gas pains, I start foaming at the mouth around 5 pm every night and have spasms in my stomach like vomiting and the severe belch and port site pain (felt like I tore it open) I have been using gas-x and anti nausea suppositories last night was really bad, i felt like I vomited but nothing cam out except for LOADS of gas...I took some pain meds becasue port area was hurting bad..today I am super nauseaus and ate a popsicle, that seemed to upset my stomach, Water is not making it feel any better either, have I slipped my band from all the vomiting spasms? or sis I irritate my stomach and its just swollen more, do I just continue to sip liquids? when should I be concerned enough to go to the hispital

thanks all

You should call your doctor. Go to the emergency room if you cannot keep liquids down because dehydration can cause alot of problems. You might need to do some walking to get rid of all of your gas. If you're strong enough, walk around the house to get rid of the gas.

I hope you feel better soon.

Call the Dr. for advice. Even on weekends someone should be on call.

Are you taking tiny sips of Water? Have you tried letting a small ice chip melt in your mouth to get some Fluid in?

do pain meds normally make you nausous? they can bother people when taken on an empty stomach. Sometimes they've made me feel worse than the actual pain that I took them to relieve.

Yes, the gas pains can be terrible. Hope you feel better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
