  1. I just got banded on Wednesday, 4/5. I was amazed at how simple the surgery was. I had a hernia (apparently a good-sized one) that was repaired at the same time, so just doing that is an improvement. I have a couple of questions, tho. First, just as I was leaving the clinic and got to the hotel just a few blocks away, I suddenly got very sick to my stomach and threw up (fortunately, not in the car!). I was immediately taken back to the clinic and given a shot of dramamine, which settled everything. The next day I took another dramamine as a precaution prior to flying home. My question is whether it is likely that I displaced or did something bad to the band when I was sick. I don't have any exceptional amount of pain or difficulty drinking liquids. My second question is about the post-surgery liquid diet. According to the info I got, I am not supposed to be hungry, but I AM! I also seem to be having some moderate, but continuous, acid indigestion. I am not dizzy or feeling like I need to throw up again, but unless I keep drinking continuously, my stomach is feeling irritated. I am glad to see that others are having the same "What did I do?" thoughts that I am now entertaining every time I smell pizza or about any solid food! LOL Penny
