I am new to this sight and have been reading a lot of your stories and questions. I am hoping you all can help me too!

I am day 4 post op, still on liquid diet. Been following the rules the best I can but find myself vomiting shortly after I sip my Water, protien drink, Popsicle, broth... You name it. I have not been able to take pain meds for two days now cuz they come back no mater if I cut them in half or dissolve them. I have SEVERE gas/belching and extreme heart burn that meds are not helping with. I am very thirsty but have yet to be hungry.... Thoughts?????

have you called your Doc? sounds like you should get someone to take a look.

If you cannot drink water then you definitely need to speak to your Dr. You may just be having a bad reaction to the anaesthesia and may need an antiemetic. If you can't keep them down then the Dr may be able to prescribe them in the form of a patch or suppository.

Thank you for the comments. I called them Friday and I had an appt for Tues. but they called this evening to check on me and they want to see me tomorrow (yes, Sunday) at 930. I am bout one more extreme episode to going to ER. I can tell I am starting to get dehydrated now.

hope everything gets better. i was vomiting my first day home, but after the liquid meds, i got better. wish you luck.

Thank u for the well wishes. I am looking forward to seeing what I can do once I get thru this

So glad you are going to the doctor. Dehydration is no joke. Keep us up todate on how you are doing.

I would be cocerned if you are throwing up the first couple of days your stomach is swollen due to the surgery so throwing up will inflam it even more causing the Band to tighten up which is probably what you are feeling. However my doctor put no fluid in my band at first (which I'm sure is the case for most) and then you gradually go up in cc's but If you are already feeling restrictions then ya you need to go in ( I feel so bad for you! Hope all is well soon!

There are some people who feel restriction without having any fluid in their band. I have felt restriction from day one, and have yet to have a first fill, though that is due to medical complications, and not my choice.

I agree that if you can't keep fluids in you, you are following doctor recommendations, and taking your anti nausea medication without benefit, it is time to consult with your surgeon.

Not normal go to ur doctor immediately !!! Good luck !!
