So last night I began dry heaving with a nauseated feeling. It is not followed by consuming anything. Last night I was watering my Soup when it hit. I ran for the bathroom and a ton of air just escaped my mouth. Like a belch but way different and forceful like vomit. This evening I have just been heaving for no reason. Honesty it hurts my tummy. I have not "ate" anything in almost 5 hours. Last thing I drank was watery soup. I am feeling hungry again and very fearful to consume anything with all this heaving. I do feel some nausea with all of this.

Anyone have any idea what is going on with me?

I'd call it in -- put those nurses to work!

I had the dry heaves before too and it was almost certainly related to my pain meds. I think I replied to another thread of yours asking if you may be allergic to your pain meds.

It's only a fairly new occurence for me, but I now can't tolerate any form of opiates or opiodes. They make me so nauseaus that I dry heave. The minute I stop pain meds the nausea disappears.

Are you on any pain meds?

Are you on any pain meds?

No, I am not on pain meds. I just feel ill in general. Water is getting difficult to swallow. I had to go in to the office yesterday for severe nausea. They had to take Fluid from my band. I felt better right away. However I am getting the same symptoms again for no reason.

Ok if you're not on any meds that might be causing the nausea, I think you need to go back in and see someone. Dry retching is not good for you while you're healing and even some anti-nausea meds might help.

Not normal, please see surgeon asap, and please tell your surgeon what you are telling us.

Good luck

My lapband doctor gave me a bunch of the tiny, circular, dissolvable pills for nausea. I try to keep one in all of my purses because the few times I've had to use it, it's worked pretty instantly. See if you can get a prescription from him. The name has rubbed off the foil packed of the one currently in my purse...

Good luck! And let us know what happens at the Dr.

Call your doctor, I haven't had dry heaves but I know it must be torture and you don't want to risk injury. Keep us posted.

Thanks everyone.

I will be calling the surgeon again. My night last night was miserable and the morning is not starting so well either. I was there not even 48 hours ago for the same thing except not heaving. Just extreme nausea. He let out 2 cc of Fluid and I felt better but that has not lasted.

Well I was admitted into the hospital this afternoon. Doc thinks the pouch is swollen and not allowing anything to pass. He drained my band and the gush of Water I had drank throughout the morning hit my stomach like a brick. He gave a little water to me and it started all over again. So I am nothing by mouth now laying in a hospital.

I am posting from the app and still feeling my way around it

I'm so sorry that you are feeling bad. If I might ask, how long ago was surgery? I hope you get better soon. No fun to be in the hospital but then again nor is being dehydrated. The iv Fluid will help you feel better while the swelling is going down.

Surgery was 13 days ago.

I had simular issue couple days back :-( and the pain was unbearable....went hospital and they put me on drip for dehydration, morphine for the pain and anti sickness med's, I luckily felt better after couple of hours (although it may of been down to the morphine lol)...they kept me in for 24 hours on the drip and run test to make sure my band ect was all right and in the correct place :-). Since the rehydration I have felt 100% better and now keep forcing the fluids. Keep us posted and remember it does get easier x hugs x

Has anyone had any bruising at the band incision site?

I have a HUGE bruise UNDER one of my incision sites. I was worried about it because it's not in direct contact with any of them but I saw my surgeon today and he said it was normal and everything looked good

@PJkitty...How long have you had LB?
