I am done with it, OP glad your doing well

Dehydration is not only a valid ER visit it could possibly lead to admission. Not misuse at all.

Hey there sorry that you had a tough time with your band and dehydration. To be honest from what you posted I don't see where he did anything wrong. The advise to go to the ER was sound advise. Him being in a solo practice I don't see why he doesn't have a PA or Nurse trained to do Emergent unfills though. Glad it turnedmout ok for you but next time if he can't get you in in am day and your getting that dehydrated I would go to the ER

:thumbup: sorry to hear you had to go through this but glad to hear your home and doing well. Rest up:thumbup:

I Am going threw somewhat the same thing. I was banded 3 days before you and waiting in my third fill. I can eat almost 2 cups. My Doctor doesn't seem to think I am doing damage. My instructions from him was to eat a cup of dense protein and I should be full. That is how he evaluates my fills

I know this is old but I have these exact pains and are relieved by eating or drinking.

I am no expert new to the band but i believe its that maybe some of the food is already passing into the lower stomach as you eat so its not all just sitting in the pouch.

I am knew to the band but it sure sounds like you are there. Congrats on getting it back going again:thumbup:

Okay so today tried to eat some chicken breast and got stuck and pb'd big time. Guess I will stay here for a bit. It's odd seem to feel tighter today 3 days after my fill

I just got a fill in my 14 cc band I am now at 8 cc and don't have good restriction. Starting to get a little disappointed. Could still probably eat 2 cups of food if I let myself. Lost 9 lbs since my last 3 week visit but also burning 400 calories a day 4 days a week via working out. Seems I am working harder than my band

I don't think she meant that type of trouble but trouble in your weightless journey

Hey there, i got banded the same day:biggrin:. Was feeling great yesterday but today having all kinds of gas pains in my stomach. Not sure if its from the co2 or the antibiotic i received. I to am having a hard time getting the liquids in. Hang in there we will get through this:thumbup:

I knew those directions were familiar. The same Dr Morton at Baptist on the 23rd. He is great

Yours sounds just like mine. If i may ask where were you banded?
