sick after surgery
 

i just had sugery on 3/24/08 i had the xray the fluid didn't go through and they took out 3cc of fluid from the band. now i am home but still have trouble keeping fluids down. i vomit at least twice a day the medicine the doctors give doesn't settle well and makes me sick. i keep questioning why i did this to my self. any suggestions.

I'm sorry your not feeling well but I'm a little confused as to why you have so much fluid in your band after just being operated on?? you should be empty or 1cc at max? Never heard of anyone having 3 cc's removed a few days after surgery.

Sounds like your band is to tight and thats why you vomited. I hope your not eating and just drinking clear liquids.

How big is your band????

I thought the same thing as you after surgery, why did I do this...then I remembered oh yeah...to save my life. It took me several weeks to feel some what normal so hang in there, its all part of the healing process. Make sure you get liquids in you or you'll be back in the hospital for dehydration.

:hug: hope your feeling better...if not call the hospital.

this is a post from hubby. yesterday she kept things down and so far she is doing good today !

Yeah!!
 

I'm sorry that you are having a rough time, but sounds like you might be on the mend. Will be thinking about you. Give your DH a hug for being there for you and letting us know how you have been doing. Follow the doctor's orders, my dear. It is so worth it.

Thanks for the update Hubby! Wish her a hearty "get better quickly! for me. I hope that it all turns around for you honey!"
