Had a fill and was fine for four days. Vomited on Thursday and by Friday night was feeling terrible pains in my entire stomach.
ER on Friday night. Dr there had an xray but showed nothing wrong and sent me home with pain meds. Saturday started hurting the minute I tried to take a sip of water. Back to ER and they finally got a hold of my surgeon. He had them do a Barium swallow test which did show my band had slipped.
Dr. completely unfilled my band and had me spend the night in case I needed surgery in the AM. :drool:
Another test in the AM and my band had repositioned itself!
Was sent home w/instructions to have liquids and soft foods only.
Three days on liquid and now trying soft foods. I see the doctor again on Friday. I don't know if they will ck and see if band is still in place. Don't know if I will get a fill or? I do have to mention that I thought the last couple of months I was at my sweet spot but then after a couple of weeks I start having problems with keeping things down and have to go for an unfill. So I am perplexed with my problem. I have lost approximately 47 pounds since September. I would have lose more but I have to keep going in for unfills the last two months. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any input. :crying:
