Not Sure If This Is Serious Or Not...

Hey bandsters!

SO... i got a fill about 2 weeks ago and was doing pretty good. However, yesterday and more so today I have been pretty nauseous... its wierd because it almost comes in waves... i will be pretty good and barely noticing it and the next minute i will have a bucket next to me cause i feel like something is about to come up. The thing is that if I did throw up the only thing that would come up is liquid because I haven’t eaten anything today. I actually have food next to me but I can’t eat it because of this nausea.

Now the WIERDEST thing is that I’ll be having this nausea feeling and then my stomach will randomly do a rumble growl type thing and the nausea will be gone for about 30 seconds. I really haven’t eaten much in the last few days because I really haven’t been hungry. I had a bag of popcorn last night (that lasted me a few hours before I ate it all) but that’s really been it.

I have no idea what’s going on...so if someone could PLEASE give me any idea I would greatly appreciate it. I am only 18 and don’t know anyone personally with the band so I don’t really know what’s normal/not normal or fine/bad.

I figure I should just go to liquids or mush for a few days and see if it goes away so don’t bother saying that lol I’m more worried if this is serious or not..

Please and thank you for any help/advice/input

:wacko::(:unsure:

background: i got my band on december 28th 2011. i believe i have 5 ccs in my band currently and i have lost 40 pounds. (idk if that will help or anything)

It may not be band related at all, you could be getting sick. Especially if it's been 2 weeks since your fill. If it were ME I'd wait a couple of days to see if it goes away, then if not I'd call the doc. Try to keep yourself hydrated.

thanks!

i thought about if it was band related or not. the main reason i thought it was is because the pain is in a certain area (right below my bust line) which is pretty close to the band (i think?) and also because when i do have a "hunger" stomach growl the feeling goes away for a few seconds.. who knows it could be something unrelated to the band but i was just worried :/

That's true, if you're really concerned, I would call your doc. No sense stressing out about it! :-)

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
