  • You do not want to really throw up, yes, it can mess with your band. Liquid medicines are best, and thankfuly, most meds can be bought in liquid form. Hopefully, this will pass without stomach probl

If you start to vomit, call your surgeon and ask them to call in a script for an anti-nausa medication.

Rest, relax and feel better.

You need to consult with your surgeon...your primary care doctor may not have enough knowledge or expertise to manage your situation.

Do you have any of the anti-nausea medication left from being in the hospital? If so, it may help to take some...but you should really be consulting with your surgeon.

Good luck...and I hope you feel better fast!

I hope you feel better.
