Hi all,

Was just banded Monday 12/27. I have never been so miserable as I have the last 3 days.The nausea is unrelenting and I am wishing I had never had the surgery now.I vomited in the PACU, in the car on way home,3 more times that day and then 2 times on post-op day1. I just got back from the local ER and had to have 2 liters of IV fluid for the severe dehydration. The band feels like it is stuck and if I threw up hard enough that it will come flying out of my throat. Please....has ANYONE had this much trouble and if so, what do you advise?

Hi. I was just banded on Dec. 23 2010. I know that I am very sensitive to the anesthetic and warned the doctor/nurse staff. I came out of surgery very nauseated and they even resedated me for a while. I was then sent home. That night i was ok, Got sick a couple of times Christmas Eve but it wasn't horrible. Christmas I was nauseated. The day after i was VERY nauseated and that night, i started throwing up. It was horrible. I ended up going back to the surgeons office. That is when I found out I should have been sent home with anti nausea meds. I took those for a couple days and now i'm just fine. It wasn't because I was trying to eat something i shouldn't have... i was just still swelled from surgery. Can't wait to get stitches out on Thursday!

Definately ask for anti nausea meds if you don't have some. I didn't know to ask for it.

I pulled that patch off my ear about 3 days out....lol

I really believe some bodies just tolerate being out under better than others.I think it is great that you feel good now.Sounds like you are ready to get back in the saddle;)

Where did you get the liquid calcium and multivitamins from? I think I would like to try that over the awful chalky chewables.

The liquid calcium is Wellessee Brand, I found it at Target.

I drink Nature's Source Multivitamin, even on an empty stomach it doesnt upset my stomach.
