Please help. I'm dying here



Recommended Posts

I don't mean to sound overly dramatic, but seriosly I feel like I'm dying! It's been a week tomorrow since I've been banded and I can only keep down popsicles, Jello and Water. Any Protein I try to get in makes me heave gas and clear bubbly Fluid within the hour. It hurts so bad and I'm miserable!! Any suggestions??? :lol:

At about day ten is when I moved to the mushies stage...refried Beans, apple sauce etc....As soon as I started eating mushies I felt 100% better. If your not taking anti nausea meds I suggest you do so. My doc gave me the patch. Worked like a charm. Remember your body is trying to get used to having the band on..foreign object in the body. Things will improve once you start eating real food again...hang in there.

Have you called your surgeon's office? If not, do so NOW! I went through the same thing. turns out they gave me a partial fill when they put the band in. Between the swelling and partial fill, I couldn't get anything but liquid down. They removed the saline and I felt sooooo much better.

Absolutely call your doc! I had to much saline in my band postop and they had to remove it. I spent 6 miserable days but now am feeling MUCH better. Call now.

Thanks, I did call my doc and they said this should not be happening especially since I didn't have the gastric. They want me to come in first thing Friday.

I was banded on June 2nd. I went all the way to July 15th suffering not being able to keep much of anything down. It would take me 45min to 1 Hour to eat 4oz of food and I was chewing so much I was grinding my teeth. Good thing is that I was never hungry (positive side to everything..LOL) Finallly I went in for my first checkup and told the Doc he said No you should have called me earlier. They removed all the saline and now I can eat some but am still never hungry..Take it from me the fact that you are catching this so early is awesome.. Good Luck .

YAY! I found how to get back to this thread! Amazing how a little looking around you can figure out how to work this site! LOL I wanted to thank all of you for your words of encouragement. I'm currently back in hospital and have been since Wed. I was severely dehydrated and have a kidney infection. Monday my doc wants to do an EGD to see what's up with my stomach. Hoping and praying that he goes in, finds something simple, fixes it and I'm home by Tuesday! Wish me luck.....I miss being at home with my 4 kids!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
