  4. I had my surgery on the 21st and I was in a lot of pain as well. I couldn't take in any liquids what so ever! I was extremely tight!! And hurting bad. I call my dr office twice they first told me to get some Prilosec - it helped just a little so I called back.... They sent me to see if there was Fluid in my band ( dr said no) and they ended up taking some fluids out and there was a 90% improvement immediately.

  8. I had a rough morning as well. I was in pain and feeling nauseous, I decide to take the nausea medicine instead of the pain Meds.... Wrong choice!!! I was throwing up slime and was unable to breathe because I panicked.... I called the dr on call and told me if I get scared like that again to go to the ER. I had me lapband on aug 21at with a hernia repair but I think I was trying toove too fast. This website has truly helped me and I am grateful for all of you guys sharing your experiences! The good and the bad (-;
