Called the doctor. The nurse said this is most common with this type of surgery over the other 2. She said mucus may collect over the night and needs to pass through the stomach. I know no one has posted, but I'm replying for someone in the future. She said hot water with lemon or hot tea with lemon. Hot and lemon were key. I've done this and already feel better. She said she can give me a prescription for nausea later if I still need it. My appointment is in 2 days.

Not possible.

My mornings are the worst. Each morning I wake up feeling sick to my stomach. Is this normal? Did anyone else feel this? I had my surgery Feb. 4, 2014 to remove my slipped lapband and had a revision to a sleeve. Thanks!

I'm on it and never stopped. I even took it the night before surgery. I take Cryselle... it's low dose but keeps me regular. I had the shots in my stomach to thin my blood too. I just got home yesterday. My surgery was Tuesday. Anyway, the nurse said because they give you antibiotics right before you go in to surgery is why the birth control might not work the first month and to use other methods. This is common anytime I've been sick and have gone on antibiotics they say you aren't protected the first month, so use other methods. They should alwYs te you that. I thought people were aware of this. If not, hopefully you know now so you aren't suprised later!

Why are they not as effective? My surgeon said after surgery we are SUPER fertile due to hormone changes and weight loss. All birth control has the same effectiveness of 99.9% if taken correctly. So to me, it's personal preference.

I don't know, since I haven't had it done yet, but 47 in 4 months is great! I hope that I can lose that much in 4 months! ????

We should keep in touch since we will be going through it together! What area are you in? I'm in Southern California. I have an appointment in the 15th to make sure all my stuff is there and to go over the surgery and questions I may have and to get my protein for my preop diet.i have all day nutrition/dietician classes on the 28th. What about you?

Oops

I'm having surgery the 4th also!! I agree...I like reading them too but it does scare me a bit.

Good to hear!

So glad you are safe and on your way to a new you!!! I've read on some of these posts that you can gain 15 lbs during the surgery, so after the fluids and gas subside you wil be a skinny Minnie! Best of luck for you and your journey! Keep us updated. ????

I hope you are beginning to feel better. I like reading all these posts of people, but it also scares me!!!! I'm having surgery Feb. 4th and I hope to read that you feel better soon!

Ok just read it again and saw it was the sleeve. So, how long ago was your revision?

Susan may I ask what you revised to and how it is working? I'm curious to see how it is compared to the band. My band slipped and I'm having surgery for the sleeve on the 4th of February. I'm used to the band now and I'm wondering which you opted for and if you are having success or any regrets. Thanks!
