wagirl Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Okay, so my husband was throwing up yesterday with what we assumed was a stomach virus or something he ate. Then tonight I just ate a small tostada and then out of nowhere got really nauseous. Then I started dry heaving. I am so scared that I am going to damage something! What are you supposed to do if you get a virus like that?? Nobody mentioned what to do when I had the surgery and I am freaking out! I am typing with a bowl on my lap just in case the dry heaving becomes real vomiting! Help!! Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagirl Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Oh, and I just got banded on June 5, and have my first fill scheduled for next week!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat2nrml Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I know that someone had posted on here about an anti-nausea medicine, but I can't remember what it was??!! I don't know if a motion sickness med. like Dramamine would work or not? I sure hope you feel better soon, best wishes, Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Please try to get your husband to the pharmacy (ask your pharmacist for OTC medication to stop you from throwing up) or better yet call your doctor and try to get a script of medication to stop you from throwing up. I hope you feel better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julieburns Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am so sorry you are sick. If you do vomit more than a few times and get worried put a call into the OCC and I am sure someone will talk to you. Hope you feel better soon :lb19: you are sick.

wagirl Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Okay, so my husband found some anti-nausea in the medicine cabinet. The dry heaving stopped, but my stomach is still very gurgly (yes I just made up that word, lol), and I am still feeling sick. I tried to call the OCC, no answer. Is there someone to contact after hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I had my surgery in 2006 so don't have my packet any longer but have your husband find your packet that was sent home with you, there should be some cell phone number in there - including Dr. Ortiz.

Yes, Prince Puffington was pretty cute with the pacifier in his mouth. I am feeling somewhat better today, but I am still taking the anti nausea medicine, because I get sudden waves of sick tummy.
