Yesterday I had a fill went from 5cc to 5.6 and I'm miserable! I can't hold dwn too much water I've called earl three times today and hadn't ate nothing just sipping on apple juice! Called the clinc and there closed until Mon! Sum1 tell me what to do I'm not a happy camper right now! Is it the swelling from the fill or could I really b too tight after just .6? I wasn't even at the green zone at 5.0... Help.......

Even if your doctor's office is closed, they should have an after hours contact number or answering service? Did your doctor give you his card or do you have the number of the nutritionist? You must have afterhours numbers for someone?

If you can't get 32 ozs of Fluid down(per day) I'd go to the ER if all else fails. You could be swollen and it may go away or maybe not?

Did you eat anything solid?

Yea I tried to eat right after the visit yesterday even though I know better but I was hungry, Needless to say I got two bites and that was it threw up about an hour later, the doc office gave me a number to an ER clinc but I'm scared they might remove all the fluid and I'll have to start all over!

yup. 0.1 cc can make all the difference in the world.

DO NOT let your self get dehydrated.

I'd go to the ER

Throwing up is something you must try to avoid. You probably have a lot of swelling from the fill and the barfing. The convulsion in your stomach to remove the objects can be very violent and this will obviously irritate the area around the band. If you can manage to get 32-48 ozs of Fluid down your swelling may go down. But, monitor this closely and go to the ER if you can't get any fluids down.

Thank u, I've been taking small sips of water like every 20 minutes just to get it down! I think ur right about the barfing causing extra swelling!!

I've puked 5 times today and haven't finished one bottle of water the entire day

Are you really puking, like you drank 6 margaritas on an empty stomach or are you spitting(PBing) up Water? If you are puking, go to the ER now. Or, do you have a primary doc? Call them asap.

it definately affects me a lot... and i have to be cautious about eating again. i know its hard but every fill or vomiting episode can cause swelling and irritation... and having liquids is the only way to get through it. I had 1cc fill in the last two months... it was too tight (4cc) and i had to have .05 taken out again. im hoping to have another fill in two weeks... but im only wanting .05. it only takes a little amount of fill to significantly change the band... im not having anymore than .05 this next time. i hope that you get some help.... and that you are o.k. judy

I CNt take this anymore I'm throwing up nothing but water n I haven't drank anything I can't even swallow my spit man this is scarring me I'm bout to go to the ER now!

Do it!

Just got in Frm the ER they removed .8cc n I feel so much better!!!!
