  1. Occasional heartburn, but one Pepcid and it was history. Mainly after OJ or beer.... But nothing like this. Thanks, I hope so too
  2. Did I do the right thing....maybe this wasn't the right thing for me. These rolling shot of whatever are really wearing me down.
  3. Finally got past the pain in my eyes. Doc said dehydration and not enough Protein. With some nausea Meds I held down Tylenol. I no longer need the oxi because it just makes me sick & pain is tolerable. Now I get these too up balls of pain that start at my middle then roll up hit my throat and then dissipate. It happens when I sit when I stand when I walk (and I'm walking my butt off). It also happens when lying down but I get less attacks when I lay on my right side. I'm sipping, very small sips. Very tiny bites of Jello at a time. Eating ice chips until my fingers are frozen. I've taken tums (6 so far today). Zantac and Pepcid. Max dosages.... Nothing is stopping it so far. Didn't have this day one. Only started late night day two. Any thoughts?
  4. Doc says dehydration caused headache. Needed to get liquids down, especially protein one.
  5. Just got banded 18 hours ago. The pain points I expected are pretty much under control. Surprisingly enough the shoulder pain is almost gone! The odd part is when I do my deep breathing exercise I get pain behind my eyes when I inhale. Has anyone ever had this happen?

  8. I'm self paid too! I think that has helped! Lol! I'm feeling better with each of your posts! Thank you thank you thank you. 12 hours and counting!
  9. This is all so very helpful! Thank you! I'm still nervous but 12 hours and counting!
  10. I'm at 7:30 am tomorrow! Excited but nervous about the gas pain & shoulder pain I keep hearing about.
  11. Really, just a week and you were up and around like normal???
  12. Anyone else get thoughts of chickening out cold feet?
