Unpleasant Question

[airportkat 0]

Ok everyone. It's been a few weeks since I've been here and I'm sorry for not participating more. I was banded on July 27, 2007 and so far have lost 45lbs which I am thrilled with. I actually bought pants off the rack for the first time in 8 years.

So far I've had some throwing up (my own fault) but last weekend I had a bout of throwing up (after not throwing up for a long time) that was more related to the food not agreeing with me and man, it was BAD. Since then (it's been about 4 days) I have had gas so bad that by the middle of the afternoon--I can barely stand up. I know no one probably wants to hear about it--but I'm also dizzy and nauseous at times. When I get into the tub and lie on my stomach, it feels like there is a ball in my intestine. I can tell that I am still restricted because I ate a piece of bread (small piece) and it went down like everything else bready goes down--rough. I'm not nauseous all the time--and I have ZERO heartburn.

Any idea what it might be? Does anyone think that what I ate that didn't agree with me is still lingering in the intestines? I'm wondering because I feel fine in the morning...just more tired than normal.

Help? :thumbup:

My best advice is that you should call your doctor.

Are you sure you're not actually sick with a stomach bug?

It may have just been food poisoning, that sounds like the symptoms of it, if it lasts more than 3 days I personally would go to your gp just to make sure everything is ok, if they think that it's just a stomach bug then at least you can get over that but if it's something related to your band it's best to at least have a checkup with your surgeon/nurse just to make sure everythings ok

Sure you don't have an obstruction of some kind? The gas and the ball in your intestine sounds like something is stuck in there and putrifying. Call your doctor!!!

I strongly agree with the others.

Call your doctor.

Best to find out what really is happening to your body.

And congratulations on your weight loss.

Oh good God no I am not pregnant! I can see how one might think that though....but it would be the second coming of the Holy Spirit if I were. LOL.
