I hate to have to post this in detail because it's terribly gross and not very lady-like, but I figured I would rather ask yall before I call my surgeon and bother him with it.

Yesterday was my first fill, I have 5cc's in a 10cc band, and during my sleep I seem to have, well soiled myself with diarrhea (so gross, I'm so sorry) I didn't have any warning, and I feel like a 6 year old who peed the bed.

All I ate yesterday was cream of chicken and chicken broth, I didn't have ANY problems with diarrhea the first 2 weeks after my surgery when I was on liquid only diet, so I don't know what's causing it now, normally my body tells me when I have to go and I have some warning, but the same thing just happened a minute ago when I was sitting on the couch, I had NO warning, and it just happened. God, it's so terribly disgusting, I don't know what to do.

Please tell me this is normal and will stop soon, I am completely embarrassed and disgusted, and I don't want to deal with it again.

I don't think this is normal I have been banded for 1 yrs and 2 months and this has never happended to me..Never and from reading on this site for the last year this is the first I've heard of this.. You might need to call your surgeon right away and your PCP becasue something is defintely wrong.. Let me know what happens..I'm sorry this has happened..

I really wish I could help but I have never had that happen. It could be the change in your diet, sometimes it takes our bodies time to adjust or maybe you have a bit of a stomach virus. But if it doesn't hurt to call the Doctor if it persist. You don't want to become dehydrated. Make sure to get plenty of liquids. Hope you feel better soon.

It sounds like food poisoning or a "bug". Send someone to get you some immodium liquid (sp?). That is the only thing that works for me. By the way, I don't think its band related.

I left them a voicemail, so I'm waiting for a call now or tomorrow, thanks so much for responding, I don't think it's normal either, it hasn't happened since though, I'm terrified to eat or drink anything other than Water, and haven't left the house all day.

Thanks, I hope it's a bug and not band related because this is horribly embarrassing.

Thank you. I'll have my boyfriend grab me some on his way home, I hadn't even thought to take anything over the counter, I hardly take anything even for a headache, but if it happens again, I'll be prepared.

I agree with Leigha .... It doesn't sound band related.

It sounds food or flu related.

Well turns out it must be a bug, for the last hour I have been vomiting, and now I have fever. Going to call my family doctor in the morning and get myself looked at. I hope it's not the flu, I do feel pretty terrible right now though.

Poor thing. I have no advice for you but wanted to let you know I said a prayer for you. Feel better!

I hope you feel better Allie!!!!

I would have bet you had a bug, the only time that's happened to me has been when I've had a really bad stomach bug. Its horrid and very embarrassing. That's not band related.

Hope you're feeling better.

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a little better today, finally got the fever down some. The doctor has me on all kinds of pill packs, lol.

I keep liquid Pherengan in the fridg just in case I get the flu (for vomiting). My doctor doesn't want me vomiting to much, even with the flu. Also on hand is Immodium AD. Just in case. Feel better soon....
