Nauseau

[bethm 0]

I'm on day 6 after being banded. Periodically I get a little nauseaus or dizzy and then it passes. Earlier I got a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth.. then it passed after a bit.

It's random and not really tied to what I've drank or eaten. I know that the band is empty. I saw the liquid pass through on the swallow as well.

I am terrified of vomiting because my biggest fear is slippage/erosion. Anyone who was recently banded experiencing anything like this?

Your doctor should have given you nausea medication. I needed them off and on for about two weeks. See if you can get some, I don't remember the name brand but I got some tiny cherry flavor pills that disolve on your tongue. He should have also given you a script for antacid, mine are also tiny pills (Pantaprazole). I still carry those with me for rare bouts of reflux.

Hi Beth,

I wouldn't worry to much about the nausea. It will pass as time goes on. If it's a little more then you can handle do call your doctor to get some medication to help the nausea ease. It's really nothing to be alarmed about at all as it's a natural part of the healing process. Everyone is slightly different so we all heal a little different and have slightly different side affects. Unfortunately your having the nausea sensations. Best of luck with this and like I said before call your doc if you want some meds to help you get past this.
