My band was placed on 2/17/2015. (Hasn't even been a month yet.) and I've been so nauseous that I can't even bring myself to sip on water. The doctor didn't fill it yet either. Is it normal to be so sick all the time? All I can do is either sit in a chair of lay down. Please help!!!

Call your doctor! You just have a followup visit, yes? Let them know what's going on -- some surgeons "prime" the band so there is immediate restriction. Maybe too much for you too soon? Or you may be having something that doesn't agree with you? Either way, you should not be nauseous!

I agree with bandista... Call your doc. I don't remember ever being nauseous like that. Keep us posted!

I never heard of the band causing nausea...see your Dr., may be something else...

But you say you had these symptoms since being banded???

Yes, so nauseated I can't even keep water down. I've gone to the ER every couple of days to get IV fluids because I've been so sick. The only time I ever feel well is when I'm asleep. I have 4, 3, and 1 year old little boys and I haven't been able to take care of them at all. I think I'm going to call my surgeon tomorrow and tell him I want it out. I need my life back, even if I stay overweight.
