  1. just to let u know . i went online today for info about overfill. i was horrified to hear what u said about ur dr. after stalling for 2 days and not wanting to bother my dr i hadd enough about 6 pm sun night. i called my dr;s answering srvice to see if i could get in first thing mon. my dr met me halfway between his house an mine to adjust the fill so i wouldnt have to wait till mon. fire ur dr or report him to ur insurance or his partners. he has no repeat no social redeeming value.
  2. wow congrstulstions on ur loss
  3. have been also following a string about swellling and blockage. u may want to check this out as same symptom different causes. salt intake causes swelling. also the act of throwing up itself cause some swelling . new fill causes swelling. point of all ths is swelling is bad. throat and stomach need a rest. so if too much fill then needs to be reduced beforeu get into the cycle of selling ,throwing up, swelling throwing up etc.
  4. same plm different tune. i had gone in 1 week early for refill becausi thought band slipped or leaked.(all of a sudden was eating a lot more). of course the day i went in i couldnt even keep water down. my doc told me i had swelling prob die to excess salt intake (was he watching me eat those chips?????) he went ahead and filled because he felt salt swelling would go down. that was 7/11 today is7/13 still have not kept anything down. since i dont know how to burp on command it gets very uncomfortable when i drink even a small amount. medicine does not go down at all. have tried really really cold and very warm liquids neither helps. even tried liquid ibuprophen (for selling ) but cant keep that down.
