I have been banded for 18 months with no serious complications however, if I could get some feedback it would be appreciated.

For the last week I have been nausea (no vomiting or PB), I have a tremendous amount of gas.

I have allergies, also I stopped taking Klonopin (anti anxiety drug) last week "cold turkey".

Spoke with Dr's office and they said that if I wasn't throwing up it was probably not slippage. It may be that my band has gotten tighter????

Any help please !!!!!

also I stopped taking Klonopin (anti anxiety drug) last week "cold turkey".

Do you feel more stressed, anxious, that can cause more gas, the chinese medicine says that our bowels are our second brain. I dont know why you would have nausea, could it be a side effect of stopping your drugs, or maybe, if your are stressed you're eating a bit more, overeating with the band can cause nausea.

HIH and you're better soon.

Hi Jenean,

Don't know what to say about the nausea and gas, but when I saw you stopped the Klonipin "cold turkey" I got concerned. Most of the medicines for anxiety and depression are not meant to be stopped completely all at once; it leads to all kinds of body stuff hapening and sometimes serious consequences. Take a look at this site and give some serious thought to contacting your prescribing doctor to discuss your best options. This could be serious....

Let us know how you are doing, please.

This happened to me right before I learned that my band had slipped severely and is near the bottom of my stomach. I sincerely hope that this isn't the case with you.
