navygirl Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I've been banded about 11 months now and have had this problem 2x. I ate a small piece of pizza for dinner tonight. Had no problems. About an hour later felt like I needed to throw up. And I mean really throw up. Only thing that came up was air. Since then I've had a horrible knot in my stomach and throw up ever half hour or so, but only throw up air. Anyone had anything like this b4?
trulytangledgrl Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I have had this problem before, but I generally actually throw up food or liquid not just air. Do you always have this problem when eating things like pizza (i.e. bread or other doughy type foods)? If so, you might want to consider giving those foods up all together. They might not be the best for you and also it could cause problems/swelling around your stomach if you are throwing up so frequently. Just be very careful about this in the future. Don't want to cause damage to your band.
Holly Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 I have not had that happen to me...I usually just actually throw up whatever is making me feel like that. Sounds cruddy though. I wouldn't eat that again! I don't eat anything doughy at all...every thing I eat of "bread" nature has to be crunchy and crisp.

navygirl Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Posted October 13, 2009 Looks like I might have a bad gall bladder. Saw my surgeon today and he ordered an ultrasound to see if I had gall stones. He said if I do he'll remove my gall bladder.
Holly Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 at least they are checking things out! I hope you feel better soon!
navygirl Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Posted October 13, 2009 Got good liquid painkiller. Ready for the next time. lol
Holly Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 that's better than nothing...for the moment at least!
navygirl Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 I'm having my gall bladder removed tomorrow. A friend was telling me it went bad because of the rapid weight loss. That my gall bladder went into overdrive to process all the fat that was metabolizing and that's what made it go bad. Has anyone ever heard of that?

You will be feeling much much better once you get that thing out. Good Luck and feel better soon. dawn

Tracie Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 I lost 100 lbs doing atkins but am now stuck and cant lose anymore so when i went for my testing for the band i to had a bad gall bladder, i just had it removed 2 weeks ago and am now waiting for my band surgery.
navygirl Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Posted October 15, 2009 Got the gall bladder removed last night. At least after this surgery I can eat normally. lol. And the recovery seems to be a lot easier.

Smiley Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 I'm having my gall bladder removed tomorrow. A friend was telling me it went bad because of the rapid weight loss. That my gall bladder went into overdrive to process all the fat that was metabolizing and that's what made it go bad. Has anyone ever heard of that? My gallbladder has died as well. I am waiting to choose my time to have it removed because I don't have any stones and it is not causing me any pain. Your gallbladder stores bile that is needed to process fatty foods. Since you are not necessarily eating much of that anymore it really isn't something you need. This is a very common occurrence for people that lose a significant amount of weight, be it fast or slow.
