Hey everyone. I am newly banded. I was banded on august 12th. The first few days were fine except for a gas bubble that floats around my ribs and chest however, today is a different story. First thing this morning when I woke up, I felt as if I were going to vomit. I dry heaved a few times and then felt better. I had some breakfast and about 2 hours later dry heaved again. then again and again. 4 times. it seems to come after the gas bubble floats way up in my chest. I dont actually vomit anything up, just white foamy looking stuff and just a small amount and then i heave and heave. Anyone experience this?

Hey! Im 5 days post op and aside from a lil dehydration on day 3 I feel great! Im getting healthier and stronger every day ( sorry dont wanna rub it in) I would call your dr right away. They get paid alot so call with any info or questions. They can also tell you what it is since I am sure they have heard and seen it all. I would get on that emergency line now! Can't hurt!

What did you eat? what does your dr have you on the first week of surgery?

Good Luck and hope you feel better soon!

you need to call your doctor ASAP! that is what they are there for, to help you. I am not sure what is going on in your case, but think it is something that needs to be checked out. hope all is well!

Did you have a hiatal hyernia? That can make you extra sensitive. Are you taking anything for nausea? Sounds gross, but my doc gave me a suppository for nausea, and it really worked well, I stopped feeling nausea around day 5 or 6 post op, so yours may stop soon. As others suggest, you may want to call the doc to be on the safe side. Best wishes
