  2. I had that too. Itchy tiny red spots all over my stomach. The doc said it is an allergic reaction to meds or to the stuff they use on your stomach during surgery. She told me to take benedryl and use cortisone cream. Feel better!
  3. Just kidding thought because you have been banded for a while!
  4. When this happened to me the doc said I should lay off the hot and cold liquids until later, Some people are sensitive to temps at the beginning I guess. But call your doc they will be able to tell you exactly whats going on. Better safe than sorry!

  6. I was in the same boat as you a few days ago! My surgery was on 1/21. I was miserable!!! So painful, throwing up, spasms in my tummy, I can go on but you get the point! Hang in there it does get better. Now I am 5 days post op and am feeling almost back to normal. A few more days!
  7. I stopped taking pain meds because they were making me nauseous. I called today because I still felt pukey and they said I was probably dehydrated. i finally started to feel better but started having these spasms in my stomach. It was too much and I puked. I will def go to the ER if it doesn't stop! Thanks! These forums can definitely make you a hypochondriac!
  8. So I just threw up and I am only 4 days post op. I have been sipping water all day. And believe me it's sipping! No gulps here. Is this normal?
  9. thanks for the well wishes! I called they said well stop taking it. Switch to liquid tylenol. He didn't want to give me anit nausea meds for nausea we could stop I guess. Hohum.
  10. Hello, I need a little advice. I had surgery yesterday and the doc gave me roxicet to take for pain. But it make me so sick! What is everyone else taking and does it taste better than roxicet, Thanks!
  11. Hello everyone! My surgery date is set for 1/21. I am starting to get a little freaked out that in 2 weeks I will be banded. Any encourgement will be greatly appreciated! Anyone else getting cold feet?
