Thanksgiving-Coma Full And Lots Of Discomfort After Drinking 1/2L Of Water??

[TexasDy 53]

Just like the title of the post says...

I drank about a half liter of Water, not too fast (or so I thought), careful not to swallow any air, no burps, no PB, nothing slid back up at all. MAJOR fullness and discomfort, more pain than I'm comfortable brushing off. Ended up in the ER. Pain subsided practically at check in. ER doc said Xrays and bloodwork looked fine, check with surgeon in the morning.

I'm glad I'm ok. But annoyed that I ended up in the ER!!

ALSO... wth? I drink water like that all the time (post-band)! Why now? What was different? How can I prevent it from happening again?

I mean, I still feel dehydrated, but I'm afraid to drink anything!!

I'm on a mobile device so cannot see your profile or when you were banded. If you were recently banded, there's probably still gas inside and you drank too much Water at once for your body now.

If you've been banded longer, It's possible that other things may be causing this- weather, stress, even not enough water intake, all of which could cause the band to tighten up on you...

I've only been banded a month, w/ one fill 2 weeks ago. I'm still baffled and don't want it to happen again - but I feel perfectly fine. Going to talk to the doc at my appointment on Wednesday...
