Is anyone else experiencing nausea with their lap band? It started a couple of weeks ago and at first I thought it was some weak stomach bug since I wasn't always sick but it is still happening. I have thrown up a couple of times but usually I just feel icky for 2-4 hours.

I still haven't gotten full restriction so I don't know what it feels like but I have heard that sometimes people get sick when something gets stuck. I have gotten something stuck a couple of times but deep breathing helped it pass and I haven't ever thrown up from it.

Could my nausea be from the lap band?

Sorry, I've not ever been nauseated since being banded.

Maybe others will chime in.

Hope you get better as I know that's a yucky feeling.

Let your Dr know. You don't want to hurt yourself.

Whenever someone mentions spells of nausea without other explanation I first wonder if it's pregnancy. Any chance of that?

I get nauseous in the evening if I don't have a good protein lunch. Then I force myself to get some protein based food down and it goes away. But its an ugly feeling to get, especially when I am on the subway.....

I have really good restriction now...perhaps a tad too tight. But if I have eaten something (small amount) or take my pills and then drink Water (a large gulp), I almost invariably become quickly nauseated; you know where your mouth begins to salivate and you know it's pending. Then I may feel nauseated for several hours after...a mild nausea but there just the same. I don't know what it's about except I know I shouldn't drink fast, especially with eating...big bandster no no.

I thought the same thing! But the test was negative and I don't "fee" prego like I did when I really was so no I am not pregnant:)

maybe it is my medicine, that's a good thing to look into.

Thanks!
