Anyone throwing up?

I had my band put in yesterday and have thrown up 4 times. Three times yesterday and once this morning. I believe it's from the anastesia. The doc gave me some anti-nausia meds which worked but wore off and I threw up again. Just worried that I'm going to hurt my self or my band. Should I be worried? I feel great now. Able to drink my liquids, walk etc. Very little pain except at port area.

I was banded yesterday and only was sick once so far, its not good feeling . I am doing so much better after the drugs are gone. Hope you feel better :tt1:

Well I'm glad I'm not alone but sorry you're not feeling well either. My anastesiologist said 15% of people vomit from the drugs. Why me!?

I would have a chat to your doc for more pain meds. Throwing up is not good!

Hi guys,

Sorry to hear about the throwing up. My partner was banded on the 9th and was throwing up every night. Things got really bad and she got to the point where she was not going more than an hour or two with retching. She got very weak from not being able to absorb much in the way of fluids or medications. On Friday we saw her surgeon who checked her out and reassured her that she had not damaged anything. He also gave her a Maxolon shot. She has made a fantastic recovery since then. Please don't wait too long to get things checked out with your surgeon.

Well - I've made it 24 hours without throwing up and have managed to consume about 80 ounces of liquid so I think I'm ok. No pain except around the port and of course the gas.
