  1. I pulled that patch off my ear about 3 days out....lol I really believe some bodies just tolerate being out under better than others.I think it is great that you feel good now.Sounds like you are ready to get back in the saddle;) Where did you get the liquid Calcium and Multivitamins from? I think I would like to try that over the awful chalky chewables.
  2. Thanks to everyone that replied. it was a few very difficult days especially since it occured over the holidays. It would seem that some people just are not good surgical candidates and have bad reactions to general anesthesia. I apparently fall into that category.Eventually had to go to the local ER for IV fluids and then just rest and walk,rest and walk,etc.I did not even plan on missing work and was hoping nobody would ever even know I had the surgery..well....the jig is up and I found that 2 weeks off may not even be enough. I am having a lot of trouble finding a good "daily routine" with all the vitamins,calcium,protein requirements,etc. Is it just "do it until it works"? Any suggestions? Again..thank you to all who were praying and thinking about my dilemma.It was very appreciated!
  3. Hi all, Was just banded Monday 12/27. I have never been so miserable as I have the last 3 days.The nausea is unrelenting and I am wishing I had never had the surgery now.I vomited in the PACU, in the car on way home,3 more times that day and then 2 times on post-op day1. I just got back from the local ER and had to have 2 liters of IV fluid for the severe dehydration. The band feels like it is stuck and if I threw up hard enough that it will come flying out of my throat. Please....has ANYONE had this much trouble and if so, what do you advise?
