Ok guys I'm needing some help! I love in oklahoma I drove to Dallas today to get a fill, I haven't had one in over a year ! I had 6cc in there (shocking to me) he first started with 3 which made me have 9 watched me through fluro and keep dropping it finally leaving at 1.8 added!

My fluids went down great and I felt great! Leaving Dallas I stopped and got a Gatorade from about decator on I started pbing! Three hours later I get home and still can't drink anything! Should I give it a day or two or find someone here to take some out? Like I said sat in his office at least twenty min we both saw my fluid go straight In GREAT , now this long drive to get .2 takin out.

Are you holding down your own saliva? If not, go get an unfill asap. Just 24 hours of not being able to swallow your own saliva can cause significant and dangerous dehydration.

If you can hold down your own saliva then it might be that you drank the gatorade too fast, it made you PB and now it's caused your stoma to swell. What worked for me was sipping on pineapple juice (for some reason this would 'sit' even if water or hot tea didn't) and not doing anything to throw up again and usually it settled enough to have mushies within 24 hours. If you keep pbing, you're going to keep irritating the stoma, so slow and steady. If you don't feel any better tomorrow despite not pbing anymore, then in my opinion, you're over-tight and will need an unfill.

Thank you so much for responding so fast! It's so hard to tell if I'm keeping my saliva down because after the Gatorade I have just been miserable! I prob did drink it to fast, going a yr with no fill I forgot till I had already did it. . I'm going to try pineapple and pray that helps a lil and that I just irritated it!! I pray!! Thanks again

When I wasn't holding down my saliva, I was pretty much throwing frothy, colorless liquid back up every 10 - 15 mins for 24 hours. You can't miss it if that's what you're doing.

Take it easy, corilyn, and I hope you feel better soon.

at this point mine is a little charcoal looking! So that's prob what it is! Dang I don't understand why now and not in office today! BOO!!

me too that sucks u have to drive that i sometimes feel that way too and they just told me to give it a day or 2 for the swelling to go down keep and liguids if it continues i hate to say this but u might have to come back to dallas im pre med so if you have any questions il be more then happy to answer to the best of my knowledge good luck

So you were able to drink liquids with no problem before you left the Dr.'s office?

Then later...it became difficult to do so...when the welling started? Si when the swelling goes down you won't have a problem anymore?

At least I think I understand the situation..(?)

Not real sure what's going on didn't drink a thing all night and woke up with pb now I'm on fire from acid! Going to see if I can get relief at local ER.

I know this is a silly question - but what is pbing?

b52 not really bc due to different bodies u dont knw whats the cause of the swelling if it was due to vomiting or allergys leak in band band sliped understanding the problem is one think knowing is another thats why u always consult with ur doctor good luck on ur journey
