My surgeons office closes at noon tomorrow and my surgeon is in surgery all day tomorrow.

I got .5 cc's added on Tuesday. Since then I haven't been able to eat anything-even ice cream got stuck and came up. Today I've had like 8 cups of hot coffee and some hot tea. Hot, thin liquids are all I can get down and I have to sip those. I've tried eating but I throw up everytime. A while ago I took 2 tiny pills with some hot tea. They went down fine but I now have pressure in my chest and tons of slime.

It's possible in so tight due to the swelling. I threw up within an hour of my fill and I've thrown up 10 or 12 times since then.

I'm thinking with the weekend here I should just get some removed instead. What do you think?

So glad you got a deflate! I was too tight and had 2 deflates. I was told the the swelling form vomiting made the band area much tighter and I had to have a deflate to heal. My doctor has someone on call 24/7 for deflates because being too tight is an emergency. I think it was negligent of your doctor's practice to make you wait days for a deflate. You could have ended up dehydrated at best and with a slipped band at worse.

I was told when I feel too tight to sip warm beverages or pineapple juice to help clear away any mucous in the band area. My band issue was a result of severe seasonl allergies.

Hang in there! Joan

It would be awesome if my doc had someone on call like that. My weekend was miserable. I was so sore and uncomfortable and on top of that I was sneezing my head off and our darn lights went out for 13 hours on Saturday after a storm so I was burning up, sneezing my head off and my chest was hurting so badly from the throwing up. It was just a sucky weekend.

I'm Glad you are so much better...

Yikes!! My band ended up so tight from allergies, seasonal. Maybe yours did too? All the post nasal drip can plug things up, lol! I was on 3 different allergy meds per day and was still having terrible allergies. I think next spring I'll see if I can get a small deflate before my allergies kick in!

Interesting in the allergy thing! My allergies are worse than they have ever been and I keep getting stuck!
