Veterans,

I had my first fill on Monday, Feb 1, 2010. Since then, it seems like I wake up with nausea-very similar to morning sickness. I have not thrown up, but feel like I could at anytime. Is this common and if so, how did you fix it.

I know there is no way I could be pregnant-total hysterectomy 9 years ago.

Thanks for any suggestions.

oh my!! me too...I lost about 33 lbs. but lately nauseated all the time!!

Nausea seems to be my specialty. I don't know either of you, but I can rattle off the list of things that I've dealt with.

1. It could just be the band. Because the band lays around a nerve in the stomach, some people are nauseated. According to my doctor, it will go away with time.

2. A bad gall bladder could be the culprit. After I had my gallbladder removed (about 6 months post-op) the nausea improved.

3. It could be acid build-up. If some reason, after getting the band, I've suddenly struggled with heartburn and acid indigestion. Excess acid in your stomach and definitely cause you to feel nauseous.

I know how frustrating this can be, as I am 7+ months post-op, but hang in there. For a while, I felt like I was the only one and that I was going crazy, but it does get better with time. It wouldn't hurt to bring it up with your primary care doctor or your surgeon.
