Unpleasant Question



Recommended Posts

Ok everyone. It's been a few weeks since I've been here and I'm sorry for not participating more. I was banded on July 27, 2007 and so far have lost 45lbs which I am thrilled with. I actually bought pants off the rack for the first time in 8 years.

So far I've had some throwing up (my own fault) but last weekend I had a bout of throwing up (after not throwing up for a long time) that was more related to the food not agreeing with me and man, it was BAD. Since then (it's been about 4 days) I have had gas so bad that by the middle of the afternoon--I can barely stand up. I know no one probably wants to hear about it--but I'm also dizzy and nauseous at times. When I get into the tub and lie on my stomach, it feels like there is a ball in my intestine. I can tell that I am still restricted because I ate a piece of bread (small piece) and it went down like everything else bready goes down--rough. I'm not nauseous all the time--and I have ZERO heartburn.

Any idea what it might be? Does anyone think that what I ate that didn't agree with me is still lingering in the intestines? I'm wondering because I feel fine in the morning...just more tired than normal.

Help? :thumbup:

It may have just been food poisoning, that sounds like the symptoms of it, if it lasts more than 3 days I personally would go to your gp just to make sure everything is ok, if they think that it's just a stomach bug then at least you can get over that but if it's something related to your band it's best to at least have a checkup with your surgeon/nurse just to make sure everythings ok

Sure you don't have an obstruction of some kind? The gas and the ball in your intestine sounds like something is stuck in there and putrifying. Call your doctor!!!

I strongly agree with the others.

Call your doctor.

Best to find out what really is happening to your body.

And congratulations on your weight loss.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
