  1. Hi I'm 2 weeks post op now and my daughter has a horrible gastro bug which is going around here at the moment. I usually catch these bugs and will vomit for about 12 hrs every 20 min or so. My question is ...if I do catch a gastro bug now or in the future, will the vomiting cause damage to my band?

    Port Area Pain!

    Yes I'm also having a lot of pain at the port area. I'm 2 weeks post op and when I bend or sit in a certain position I feel intense pain at the port site almost like a burning and ripping of stitches or something. It lasts maybe 10 secs then eases. It's the worst when I'm driving and by end of day driving home from work I'm in tears. Is this normal and will it get better?

    Ok so I am now 9 days post op and the spasms have finally stopped. My surgeon told me to buy buscopan tablets from pharmacy which helped immensely. I finally feel I've turned the corner :-)

    Thank you. I'm speaking to my surgeon in the morning ( I'm in Australia so bit of time difference lol ) and I'll hopefully also get a script for these nasty spasams.

    Oh great to know. Did they have a name for them and can I ask what the medication is called?

    Mine have eased a little today. Hot soup makes them worse and Sucking on Ice seems to help them so maybe the spasms are just due to the inflammation of the esophagus after the op, which means anything cold will soothe it. Well I'm hoping that's all it is.

    Oh can you please let me know what the surgeon told you about the spasams ? I think we are having the exact same issue. Thanks

    I had mine on June 11 and I'm having these awful pains in my chest that come in waves. It's like a wave of nausea and sharp indigestion. They come every 10 min and last a few seconds. Is this the gas? And have others had this? It's so tiring. I'm also a bit stressed because I vomited twice yesterday which I've just realised was due to the pain meds I was taking. I'm so scared I've done something to my band....what symptoms would I have if the band has slipped due to my vomiting?
