Do you think this is Lap Band surgery related??

I had surgery on May 3rd and I am down 43lb since surgery, have had 2 fills currently 4.5 CC's seems to be going great. I am working out 4-5 times per week at gym and enjoying life! Last Thurs. about 4 started to feel queezey didn't have much in my little stomach thought maybe I was just constipated. I left work at 5:30 headed to drop deposit and go to the gym. I had to pull over at McDonalds did't quite make it was going both ends (sorry!) I could not vomit just heave and had to go to bathroom evey few minutes till 8:00 PM just water....oh my hemmroids were not liking it! OK thought maybe I had a virus but a 4 hour virus didn't seem so awful but....Yesterday before lunch stomach pretty empty same thing and lasted all afternoon. Do you think this is band related or gastro related?? I go in for my 3rd fill next Wed and plan on talking to the nurse. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

To me it sounds like it is some type of gastro issue. Activity at both ends definitely sounds like some type of virus or other bug. I had a coworker who recently went through something similar that lasted for about 2 months. He was eventually diagnosed with colitis. I would definitely talk to your nurse and doctor. Also, be sure to track all your food, the times you eat and when you get the nausea and other yucky feelings. This will be helpful to bring with you to the appointment because it might shed some light on the problem.

I hope you feel better soon.

ps...congrats on your fantastic weight loss!
