I was so sick with a head cold last week, I didn't really think of my band. I was eating what I normally eat. And out of the blue on Saturday the hubby and I where on our way to our anniversary dinner and I started getting woozy feeling. Now all day Sat. I noticed fluids going in a little slower, but they'd kind of been doing that since the weather changed. We proceeded to Wal Mart for a little shopping, I thought I was going to pass out. So I figured we where already in town, to lets go sit down at the dinner. I ended up taking a zofran to stop the nausea and called the dr. He said it was probably from mucous. I did what he told me to do. Warm liquids and mucinex. I have not ate more than a couple of small bites since Saturday. I have this pain in my stomach... feels like I'm being stabbed and my port gets puffy and painful!? So I went to the reg. pcp yesterday and he thinks I may have an infection somewhere. Today I am going to band dr to get answers. I am usually nauseous about once a month, but not enough to warrant meds. I have complain about the pain in my sternim from the start and now it's horrible. I am getting scared and worried, I put my kids on the bus and came in and cried. I don't know how you all returned to work. And lead normal lives. I struggle with pain and nausea and sometimes can't help but wonder if my body is fighting the band? All of this happening with 3 weeks of christmas. I am suppose to start work next week... I'm lucky to get through the day at the moment. I don't have the strength for anything right now I have lost about 4 pounds since Saturday, I hate loosing so fast I get goofy and freezing all the time.

Oh, Im sorry, maybe your surgeon will be able to shed some light on it. You really need to try to drink some water, and maybe you can slowly get a shake down. Water you most defintly need if you can.

Hope that you find out the cause and it gets resolved soon. Feel better soon !!
