Urgent Fill Opinions Needed - Please



Recommended Posts

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.

Steve

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
