No issues ... until now- nausea!



Recommended Posts

Hi

I have had my band for about 5-6 years and it’s been great. I never had an issue until I had to remove cc’s Due to pregnancy. Now, more than 2.5 years on from giving birth and having refilled the band slowly over this time I am having an issue.

For the past week or so I have been extremely nauseas. I saw a gp today as I live in a small country town and my specialist is 1600kms away in the city. The Gp has filled my band for me before with no issues. I asked if removing cc’s Would assist in making me feel better and he said yes. So we took 1full cc out. I am still so nauseas.

Has anyone else had this? If so- how long until you felt better? I’m worried I’ve had a slippage.... but the gp didn’t believe so.

Thanks

Hi there

I had a band for years and we had to play with it for a long time but over or underfilling, a slippage, reflux, a breakage, an abscess - none of it made me nauseous. The slippage hurt, made me cough. It felt - dull pain.

I wonder if it is something unconnected to the band? A bug, maybe. (Pregnancy springs to mind? None of my business of course but...)

I reckon check out all the other options? Are you eating ok, swallowing ok?

I was thinking the same thing. I did not have the band, but those seem to be the signs of pregnancy again. It could just be coincidence that it happened around the same time as the band filling. Wont hurt to get checked out :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
