Hey guys,

I'm 4 months out from being banded and the past 3 weeks I haven't been able to keep anything down because of really bad nausea and gas pains. I don't vomit or anything but it's just always uncomfortable when I drink or eat. I tried taking zantac and that helps for a few hours along with phenegran for the nausea and I'm okay for a little while but then it comes back and even drinking Water causes mild chest pain and nausea. I went to the e.r. and they said everything is okay. My lap band doctor has been "out of the office" for the past 2 weeks and the nurse said she doesn't think it slipped because I would be vomiting and I had a CT scan and the e.r. doctor said everything is fine. I have NO liquid in my band, never have. What could be causing this? Also, I didn't need a hernia repair during surgery.

You should probably try something stronger than Zantac. I recommend Prevacid but most people use Prilosec.
