Have had the band - and love it - since April. I always get pretty tight after a fill for a day or so.

Yesterday had a fill of .4 at 11am. Had Soup at 1pm. At about 5pm got bad heartburn. 6pm tried a Protein shake and it wouldn't go down. Up all night - no sleep - with foaming and PBing saliva.

I sipped VERY slowly coffee this AM and got a couple sips down. Tried some liquid Motrin and that came back up a few minutes ago.

I realize I am just swollen from the fill - do I stick it out until the swelling goes down or do I do the ER thing since I know the doc is not in until Monday??

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

I say call your doctor .. Even after a fill of 1.5cc I could drink liquids..

My .02...if you can keep Water down, give it 24 hours. If you can't keep water down, call your doctor immediately.

Why is it that these things always happen on Fridays? I have the same luck -- nobody in my family gets sick unless it's the weekend. Makes it difficult to decide what to do.

I would absolutely call your doctor's office and explain the situation, and ask them what they think you ought to do. If you can't keep any liquids down, and it keeps up over the weekend, then by Monday, it'll be going on 4 days with no Fluid -- and that's a long time. Better to get your doctor's advice on this one, I think.

Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!

I agree with the other poster's. If you can't even keep liquids down it is not good, dehydration happens fairly quickly. Please post your progress.
