Hey guys,

I had neck and cheek lipo five days ago. The first two days I was ok, but as time goes on my stomach is killing me. I have mild to severe nausea at all times, I feel slightly dizzy sometimes, I'm eating just fine, as I normally do, BUT when I do eat, 30 min later I'm running to the toilet (and I'm not talking about throwing up). I usually have a cranky stomach for a few days after surgery, but this is way bad. Before I spend the money to go get flouro'ed, does this sound like a slip at all? Oh, and I did not have a defill before the surgery, I was pretty loose and due for a fill anyway. Could this all just be a delayed reaction to being knocked out? Oh, and I'm definitely not pregnant.

Are you feeling better? Did you call your doc?

Sounds more like anesthesia after-effects to me. It's not like they touched your stomach in any way. A slip doesn't just happen; something has to cause it. I'd call the plastic surgeon that did the lipo and ask if he can prescribe something for the problem.

Well, I guess I need to stop assuming it's somehow band related everytime I have a pain, lol. Turns out I tested positive for the ulcer bacteria. Doctor says from my symptoms right now I have gasteritis (dont' think I spelled that right) and not a full blown ulcer. So, I have a few weeks of antibiotics and antacids to deal with and I have to be careful of what I eat. Doc said the stress and trauma from the surgery probably made it flair up.
