Update... Worst week ever. (Long)

Parvathi · January 31, 2006

I must be slow, cause I hadn't even read you weren't feeling well. But I'm really glad to hear you're feeling better!! Sucks that this happened on your birthday week, cause for me, I know I'm Queen for the Week on my birthday week lol.

Here's hoping the unfill will fix you up good as new I'll be sending some happy thoughts in your direction.

Thank you all for your care and support, It means so much to me.:wave:

I am feeling so much better now, Thank God!!

To answer a few questions...

*The reason I didn't go to the emergency room is because... one, I know that they wouldn't have the correct needle to unfill me with. If they used the wrong needle on me, it could cause me to have a port leak. I was holding out as long as I could to avoid the risk of damaging my port. I would've went when I reached my breaking point, which wasn't too far away.

Two, I was afraid that when they saw how dehydrated I was that they would want to remove my band, which obviously is way worse than the first option.

* My Dr. Martin is a WL Surgeon, specializing in LapBand but also does other WLS.

* And Lisa, sometimes calling a Paralegal/Sex Goddess is the next best thing when you can't find a DR.

Thanks again everyone.. you guys are PRICELESS!!

Hey, Angie. I've been away from LBT for a few days and I'm so sorry all that happened. 2 weeks ago I went through the same exact thing, 10 days of no solids and very little liquid. It was HORRIBLE. I went in for 2 unfills with a 6 day period and was so worried about a slip, but thank God it wasn't. I was unfilled quite a bit and today I go back for a fill. I sure hope it's better this time around!!

I'm sure glad you're feeling better. It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to have liquids without horrible pain.

Good luck to ya & keep us posted.

Happy to hear you got answers and are on your way to feeling better, hopefully the unfill will correct the slip, one of our other members here Jonathan had a slipped band and he had an unfil land it did the trick..I hope the same for you

It really makes a difference having the knowledge and support this site provides.

Being the closet bandster I am, no one would ever believe how HUGE my support circle is here at LBT. I am very thankful.

So glad to hear that you are feeling better now. That must've been so scary. I know what it feels like to be so dehydrated that you just want to die, and that's when your mind caves in on you and all you can do is cry.

Keep getting better, and glad to see you're back in commission girl!
