I had LAP-BAND® on August 6th and everything was fine until yesterday morning. I felt nauseous in the morning after I had my slim fast, I didn't vomit but thought I was going to, that evening about 6 pm I got nauseous again, then again about midnight. I am feeling kind of sick today. I don't know if this is cause for concern. I had a little bit of applesauce, that my doctor said was ok. I took a couple of bites and felt nauseous. I stopped eating and it settled down and then after a few minutes I tried it again and I was ok. My stomach feels touchy today. I drank my protein shakes today and it seemed ok. I have not had my first fill yet.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Is it cause for concern?

It doesn't sound like a band problem to me...maybe you just have a bug you're fighting off? Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes when I get a little dehydrated it can make me feel a little nauseated. I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you so much, I went to the zoo yesterday and didn't drink many fluids so you are probably right. I hadn't even thought of dehydration. I started drinking more fluids and the nausea seems to be disappearing. Thank you for answering this, I appreciate it so much. | |

I was banded last Tuesday and had been doing fine until Friday during the night, when I got really bad nausea. I had nothing to drink or eat before I went to bed so I could not figure it out. After reading your posts I wonder if it was because I went to the store and did a lot of walking on Friday and did not drink enough liquids. Was not aware that could cause nausea. I am going to change that right now and start drinking, drinking, drinking. That is the only problem I have had and I don't want it again.
Thanks for the advice.

It is always important to get your liquids in, but much moreso in those first weeks after surgery. Your body fluids, sugars, etc. are swinging back and forth and you have to really nurture yourself with protein and fluids constantly. Your body is in the process of trying to heal, which takes energy, and your resources are being depleted. Get in the habit of carrying a bottle of water with you everywhere you go. I have one permanently in my car, one by my couch, one by my bed and one by my computer...at all times.

It FINALLY went away after about a month. Until then, it was rough!

Can someone address diarrhea? I am 6 days after surgery and it started about 2 days ago. Is that normal? | |

I would call your doctor about the diarrhea - mine put me on flagyl for 10 days to clear it up.
