scared of feeling in my stomach/chest

jntedwards · June 22, 2008

Everytime I lie down, it burns. Almost every night I wake and throw up. I don't want to go to the doctor and him tell me that I have to have the band out or something. What could be causing this. I've never had reflux or even gas pains so I don't know how to describe this sensation. I'm worried that I'm eating up my insides but I cannot regain the weight I've lost and I know I will if I don't have the band.:confused2:

vomiting almost nightly is not normal. you need to be seen by your surgeon ASAP. do not assume what you have or what he/she may suggest.

You must be seen by a doctor... this is not normal.

I believe this is also caused from your band being too tight.. is it? it could probably easily be fixed by a slight unfill. You need to be a responsible band person and go to the doctor. It's probably going to be something easily fixed.

Go to the doctor. If you keep waiting, more damage could be done to your body and the risk of losing the band increases.

Day two and three I did throw up. I called my dr and he was not too concerned. I began taking maalox total relief which helped with the nausea. I am not dr, so you should call and let them know what is going on. I am just 4 days out myself and have a bad feeling in my stomach, a lil queasy and nausious but the maalox helps with that.
