Nausea anyone???



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else experiencing nausea with their lap band? It started a couple of weeks ago and at first I thought it was some weak stomach bug since I wasn't always sick but it is still happening. I have thrown up a couple of times but usually I just feel icky for 2-4 hours.

I still haven't gotten full restriction so I don't know what it feels like but I have heard that sometimes people get sick when something gets stuck. I have gotten something stuck a couple of times but deep breathing helped it pass and I haven't ever thrown up from it.

Could my nausea be from the lap band?

Sorry, I've not ever been nauseated since being banded.

Maybe others will chime in.

Hope you get better as I know that's a yucky feeling.

Whenever someone mentions spells of nausea without other explanation I first wonder if it's pregnancy. Any chance of that?

I get nauseous in the evening if I don't have a good Protein lunch. Then I force myself to get some protein based food down and it goes away. But its an ugly feeling to get, especially when I am on the subway.....

I have really good restriction now...perhaps a tad too tight. But if I have eaten something (small amount) or take my pills and then drink Water (a large gulp), I almost invariably become quickly nauseated; you know where your mouth begins to salivate and you know it's pending. Then I may feel nauseated for several hours after...a mild nausea but there just the same. I don't know what it's about except I know I shouldn't drink fast, especially with eating...big bandster no no.

I thought the same thing! But the test was negative and I don't "fee" prego like I did when I really was so no I am not pregnant:)

maybe it is my medicine, that's a good thing to look into.

Thanks!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
