Hi All!

I am happy to say I was banded yesterday! Just feeling sore right now but no gas pains- happy about that. So, my question has to with my recovery yesterday. It didn't go as smoothly as expected.... All of the pain meds they gave through IV made me incredibly nauseas(even when coupled with Zofran)

The scary part is that I actually vomited yesterday while in the hospital. Sorry if TMI, but it was a little bloody. Of course this happened while in the hospital and my nurses and doctors were well aware. Before I left they ran lots of extra tests, including a barium swallow and in"ate" broth as well. I am no longer so nauseas. I guess I'm just nervous because I had read so many times you should never vomit and I'm scared that I did on the first day. I'm glad to have my docs reassurance, but just wondering if this happened to anyone else and how unusual it is. I'm just so afraid of a slip! Any thing you could share would be helpful!

Other than that everything is great and I'm so excited to finally be banded.

First of all try drinking taking smaller swallows and see if it helps; think of sipping from a thimble.
