I have a migraine headache. Which is bad enough on its own. Unfortunately for me, along with migraines comes nausea. I hate feeling sick to my stomach under normal cir****tances ... but since my Lap-Band surgery I'm almost paranoid about nausea/vomiting. I'm over 2 years out. My band is in fine shape. Yet I still get panicky about the whole sick to my stomach routine. Please tell me I am not the only over-worrisome Type-A around. Even if you don't mean it ... LOL

Thank Sharon. I've taken meds now it is just the waiting game for it to go away ... I think part of it stems from the fact that I have always hated and to some extent feared throwing up (even when it was not logical). Now I have an "excuse" to be afraid and maybe I've just grabbed on to it. LOL

Hi Carole, I am nervous about vomitting too. I am almost 2 years out and haven't done it yet. When my kids have been sick like that I am constantly washing my hands, no kisses and am always using the Lysol. How has this unfill been working for you Carole? Are you feeling better and able to eat a bit more? Your posts sound in better spirits, so I hope you're better. Karen

Thanks Karen! Nice to know I'm not alone. LOL Yes. The unfill has made a huge difference. I can take my vitamins without pain. I can eat breakfast every day. I can eat just about any foods. I still have some restriction because I am getting full much faster than without restriction. But I am able to eat all the same foods that I am cooking for the rest of the family! Yahoo!!!

I avoid vomiting, but am not overly concerned about it. Many, many Bandsters have had the flu, food poisoning and migraines and their bands are still okay. Don't panic! Hope you feel better soon.

I sort of worry about! If it happens, it happens! But I rather hope it doesn't. I know lots of peole do vomit and have no problems but I hope not to put it to the test! Kate

Hi Carole, I get the same way when I get nauseated. It has been drilled in our brains not to vomit so we get anal when we do. Hope you feel better soon. Mona

Yeah... when I get really sick, I fear vomiting. I try to fight it as long as I can (if I can). Don't worry... you're not the only one that worries about hurting their band with vomiting!
