Anybody have dry heaves shortly after surgery?

Are you taking the anti-nausea meds they recommend? I've seen other people have this problem and you really don't want to be dry heaving or throwing up so soon after surgery. It can damage the sutures holding the band in place.

It just all of a sudden happened. I haven't been feeling really well today, Havent drank a lot of anything, had the runs for a bit then started to dry heave. Sucked on a cracker now I am feeling better.

I was still in the hospital when the nausea and than dry heaves started. I was given anti-nausea medication IV and now have a prescription for nausea. I have had to use it a couple of times this past year. one thing I never want to do is vomit while my band is restricting. the thought scares me. so call your doctor and let him know. I am sure he will prescribe something for you

Thanks for the tip. I am one week post op for the lap band. Felt pretty good for 3 days after surgery. Now I get the dry heaves at nite and it is really uncomfortable. This is the July 4th weekend so I am sure no one is around but i will contact my Dr. on Monday for nausea medication - great idea. Thanks.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
