You should probably wait a couple of hours for the swelling to go down and then see if you can get water in you. If you can you really should start a liquid diet again (protein shakes) for about three days. This is what my doctor says when this happens to me as throwing up makes you all swollen and irritated. If you can not get water in you call your doctor to check for a slipped band. Good luck I have had this happen too many times even totally unfilled. My body does not like the band and I am considering converting to bypass.

my doctor said 2 hours

Thank you. I now am taking little sips and it seems to be ok.

I am deffinitely doing liquids for the next few days.

Aagh this was horrible

You probably didn't. Just relax and go on liquids for the rest of the day. Move on to mushies and stuff tomorrow. If you still can't swallow any liquid after two hours, call. People who slip a lot of times can't swallow their own spit.

Pork is the devil! It's really dry so you gotta chew like mad!

Those pigs don't go down without a fight. Piggy's last stand! :)

Are you sure you have a slip?

I would give it a couple of hours and if you still can't get Water down then you need to go and see your Dr for an unfill. You probably still have something blocking the stoma but you do not necessarily have a slip. Try sucking crushed ice. If the area is swollen that can often help to reduce the swelling enough to allow the item to move through. It doesn't always work though and it can take a while.

It is important that if this doesn't fix itself though that you go to your Dr, you don't want to end up dehydrated.
