4 Months Post Op - Frustrated

Thankfully the holidays are over and I cannot get distracted by all the yummy goodies that were everywhere! I own the fact that I ate them and the scale is up 7 lbs as a result. I also own the fact that I procrastinated calling to get my January fill (I called the last week and a half in Dec) and now have to wait until the middle of February to get in. I also own the fact that I haven't been exercising since the surgery. That ends today though because I really do not like the "soft" feeling

I went back to work Monday (8/31) after being banded 8/12 and then on vacation a week and a half after that. I had my complications (prior post) but am now feeling much better.

What was unusual is about two days afer I came home I started getting extremely nauseous and would vomit at least 3 times in a day. I am on the clear liquid diet, so my intake amounts were very small.   I was in communication with my doctor daily for three days. We tried anti-nausa pills first - no luck, I also develop

First Blog Post - Banded 8/12/09

Ugh, the surgery went great but afterwards I had so much nausea. It took the better part of the DOS for the dr. to figure out the right cocktail of Rx to stop the nausea. We eventually got there. If I ever need surgery again I now know to tell the anesthesiologist to add more anti-nausea meds and to include a behind the ear patch too.   I had my upper GI scan later in the afternoon DOS (surgery time was 7:45 AM. Scan was 4:30 PM) and everything was clear. I was allowed to start my water intake
