I was banded on 12/19/2012. Since then I've only been able to keep down ice chips. I was in the hospital dec23-24 due to dehydration and swelling in my stomach. I have constant pain in my belly. I cant take any medicine at all because it feels like its getting stuck in my throat and drinking sips of water makes me vomit. My doctor is on vacation until next week and his partner wont help me. He says that I'll be okay. I just took a shower and handfuls of my hair came out. I cant do this anymore. Advice please?

I've had a ct scan and x-ray done. I've also had antiswelling drugs by IV to help with the swelling in my belly but it comes right back. I'm miserable and I feel like I can get any help The doctors office just called and said to continue ice chips and take it slow they can admit me for a few days in the hospital but I have 3 kids under the age of 5 YO.

I also feel light headed all the time and my hands are shaking like my sugar is low but when I take it its always normal. I would just like to get this thing out of me I feel like I'm neglecting my kids by being so sick.

We have to keep in contact. I'm super excited but I'm super nervous. Do you have facebook?

I'm having surgery with Dr. Bali on June 1st. I'm super nervous but I'm so excited. You can chat with me. I need a lapband buddy to get threw this
