last monday i went for my check up and dr said lets try one more small fill

i was doing ok but not really losing and not staying full so he did .5 that put me to 1.5 in my 4 cc band did the liquids the rest of the day and the next day did full liquids then to soft but i notice tightness by then.. i wasnt feeling well on thurs or friday so i really didnt eat sat comes and i had a bit of hot tomato soup i really coudnt get soilds down so i thought ok maybe im a bit to tight or from not feeling welll.. so sunday morning came and i got up and was thirsty i really didnt realize i hadnt drank very much over the last couple days cause i was just sleeping a lot so any way i take a drink and YUP girgled it right back up so i tried again nothing would go down so i called dr and he said go to ER the chief or surgery came down and they did a swollow test TIGHT AS A DRUM! so they took out the .5 that my dr put in on monday and weeeeeeeeee water went down no prob!~ i begged them not to take it all they wanted to i said i was fine before the last fill no probs so they let me keep it. Im feeling much better now they said i was very dyhydrated and that prob why i wasnt feeling well I guess you really need to learn to listen to your body with this new tool .. Time to really start paying attention!

LESSON LEARNED

Ouch! I'm so glad you got to keep most of your fill! And I'm glad you didn't wait too long to get it taken care of! Scary stuff!

im gald too i have read the boards long enough to know NEVER WAIT! LOL im learning soo much and with the boards help i am learnign faster!

I'm so glad you posted this. It helped me make my decision. I was debating if I should get fill #2 right before I went travelling out of town. I have now decided against it because the same thing could happen to me (I currently have 1cc in a 4cc band) as happened to you, and I sure don't want to be far from my doc if anything like that were to happen. So glad you're feeling better!

ty ty im glad i listen to the very educated and knowing board maybe wait til you get back for your fill

I KNOW that feeling oh so well...had 4 cc in a 10 cc band for my first fill...wow was I tooooo tight...so I had to have 1.5 taken out and it was like...whew relief at last...I couldnt even swallow my own spit I was so tight!.. I too am grateful for these boards and the knowledge it provides...

Love to all!

I am so glad you are ok and not hospitilized for dehydration!!! You Good Girl you for calling your doctor!!!!!!!!
