Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Yes, I know the answer is to call the dr, but in the interim until tomorrow, need help



Recommended Posts

Been banded since 12/14- to date I have no fills but occasionally get stuck just by having the band. My dr confirms that this happens, just not often. In the last 3 days I have gotten stuck twice (most recent time being a few minutes ago). Both times on the last slime there were small (very, very small) speckles of blood. Has anyone else had this? I know I need to call the dr in the am, but was just curious. Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated.

I know you're not going to want to hear this but I think you should go to the doctor now. This seems like a bit of an emergency to me. And switch to liquids to be safe as well.

Not sure...maybe do liquids until you see your surgeon. That is what my surgeons office told me to do.

The dr isn't in and I am home with a 3 yr old so there is no way I can do anything until tomorrow. Just seems weird and I will call in the am

Darnit. For sure switch to fluids (no solids to eat until you see the doctor). If you are in pain...or if the bleeding worsens...just take your daughter and get to an ER. They can call your doctor in if need be. Help is there if you need it. Sorry I can't help more!

Thanks I honestly feel fine and it was the equivalent of three drops of blood so I am not overly panicked. The dr will call me in the am and hopefully it is nothing just wanted to see if it happened to anyone else

Oh good deal. If you feel okay that's what matters. Hopefully just a little irritation on your esophogus from stomach acid or being stuck. Hope all goes well tomorrow with the doctor and he'll likely dismiss it as not too big a deal if you're okay by then.

Have a great night and a good rest.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
