After two trips to the ER and getting admitted Sunday afternoon, we discovered what the real problem was! My gallbladder went bad and was not working, thus resulting in my symptoms of nausea, vomiting, etc. I had my gallbladder removed last night and I felt INSTANT relief! Now I can focus on my recovery and adjusting to my life with the lap band. Thank you all for your concern. For all future lap band patients, I would consider getting a gallbladder study before surgery. I could have avoided all of this if I had. In hind sight, we could see how my gallbladder had begun to deteriorate in week 2 of the liquid diet prior to surgery. Grateful and relieved, Slim Jimmy

I had the lap band procedure this tuesday and have not stopped throwing up since. I was re-admitted to the hospital last night and the nausea subsided, however as soon as I got home today I began throwing up again. Can anyone let me know how long this goes on or any advice on how to deal with this. It is becoming really discouraging. Is this normal? One moment I feel great, the next moment I'm in front of the toilet severely vomiting. Help!
