Don't know what to do!!



Recommended Posts

So, I've been sick for about 3 weeks now, started off with Bronchitis, upper respiratory & allergis turned cold/sinus crud. They put me on prednisone and I swear I wanted to eat everything in sight. :huh: I've coughed more than I think I ever have in my life! Finally, they have now put me on antibiotics and some pills for my cough. I do have this wierd feeling in my side when I cough some times and it's a little painful when I swallow. Not sure if my coughing so much would cause my band to do something funky- It's just not feeling the same like it used to. It could be cause my next fill is next Tuesday and is just my 3rd one- I've drank a couple times with my food not thinking until after I've done it. Which I can just kick myself in the booty for!!!! :( I've been staying with softer foods and got myself back in control with my portions, gosh I'm so embarrased I'm even writing this. I notice however that I cough after I eat but don't feel full or anything like that. Could this thing slipped already? My Dr & his staff are out of town until Monday... Any suggestions?? Sorry, just rambling I guess. :( Thanks!!!

Was your surgeon OK with you taking Pred. I'm pretty sure that's on my "no" list.

You know I didn't even think to ask. He and his staff are on their yearly trip to St. Thomas so they are literally out of the country. He's never really said what I should/ should not take so I will have to check with them. Thanks for bringing that up. I just figured they were pretty small so they wouldn't get stuck. I will definitely check on that. THANKS!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
