I was banded 2/25 and did fine other than HORRIFIC gas pains, I start foaming at the mouth around 5 pm every night and have spasms in my stomach like vomiting and the severe belch and port site pain (felt like I tore it open) I have been using gas-x and anti nausea suppositories last night was really bad, i felt like I vomited but nothing cam out except for LOADS of gas...I took some pain meds becasue port area was hurting bad..today I am super nauseaus and ate a popsicle, that seemed to upset my stomach, Water is not making it feel any better either, have I slipped my band from all the vomiting spasms? or sis I irritate my stomach and its just swollen more, do I just continue to sip liquids? when should I be concerned enough to go to the hispital

thanks all

You should call your doctor. Go to the emergency room if you cannot keep liquids down because dehydration can cause alot of problems. You might need to do some walking to get rid of all of your gas. If you're strong enough, walk around the house to get rid of the gas.

I hope you feel better soon.

Call the Dr. for advice. Even on weekends someone should be on call.

Are you taking tiny sips of Water? Have you tried letting a small ice chip melt in your mouth to get some Fluid in?

do pain meds normally make you nausous? they can bother people when taken on an empty stomach. Sometimes they've made me feel worse than the actual pain that I took them to relieve.

Yes, the gas pains can be terrible. Hope you feel better soon.

if you are frothing at the mouth you may be dehydrated i had to wear a nausea patch for 4 days and i ate a lot of ice chips alot of pain meds can cause nasea you may need to cal your dr .dont wait to long good luck tmm42

well thanks all for the advice...I ended up in the emergency room last night for dehydration, I had 3 bags of iv fluids and the blood work was fine so they sent me home, I am sipping away right now.
