Here is the scenario. This past Monday, I ate some Chinese food. I hadn't had any in over a year. (I had lapband surgery last April). My stomach started hurting, I tossed and turned all night, and as soon as I got out of bed the next morning I throw up the food and drink that I had. All that day, I didn't eat, because I kept feeling nauseated. I took pepto and seven up. Nothing helped. I work overnight. The next day, Wednesday, I cooked and ate, and immediately that came back up. I went to work that night and felt really bad and weak. I had to leave work and go to the ER. They ran ct scans, blood work and everything and couldn't find anything wrong. But my symptoms are still there so I know something is wrong. I have an appointment with my lapband docotor on Monday, but the CT scan said it was fine too. What could this be?

Normally, I would agree that I ate too much but usually that is resolved after I throw up.

If the doctor who did your lap banding can't help you, consider going to a board certified gastroenterologist. They may put a scope (a small camera) into your stomach to see what's happening and take biopsies. There could be several problems, so one of those two doctors should be able to help you find an answer. Good luck!

Food poisoning?
The pepto and seven up is the right idea (I have no idea about lap-band, but for the sake of keeping hydrated, you've got to drink).
Are you allergic to shellfish or peanuts? It might have been in the chinese food...

You need to talk to the doctor that performed your lap band surgery. I have been told you eat protein first and veggies second. I don't know anything about the Chinese food. Did you eat much of it?
