Constant nausea and left shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

Hey all

I was banded March 2015 and since then, I've had almost constant nausea (even when I don't eat) and last night I had an allergic reaction to something I eat fairly regularly (product containing soy) all day and the months leading up to this, I was nauseous every single day. I take phenegran to control it. I'm not getting much help from my surgeon, he hasn't called me back in 3 weeks. Also I had an endoscopy 3 weeks ago after not being able to eat for 4 weeks due to nausea and it turns out I had polyps on my stomach. I'm able to eat now but I'm always nauseous. I have asthma and allergies pretty bad and last night I had an allergic reaction that sent me to the e.r. they gave me a shot of steroids and benedryl to help and since then I am no longer nauseous. Other times before this, I've used steroids when I had the band and my nausea goes away.

My question is, do you think I am allergic to my lap band? This hasn't happened to me before being banded and I also developed a rash on my chest a few weeks ago (when I was having severe nausea that led to the endoscopy)

I have ZERO ccs in my band and have never had a fill. I've been able to lose 80 pounds since starting my journey but mostly due to the fact that it always feels liek my band is swollen and nausea.

Please help! I have no idea what's going on and I don't see anything in the forums about this anywhere besides things leading me to a slipped band which I for sure do not have because I've done two barium swallow tests and the doctor that performed the endoscopy said the band is in place.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
