I posted on Thursday that I was having trouble drinking my water post-op on day of surgery. Well during the night I became unable to swallow even my own spit. I ended up in emergency Friday morning and have been on IV and cortisone for 3 days. I was pretty much swollen shut from the operation. I am finally home and have to stay on clear liquids for a few more days. The good thing is I have not been hungry and am satisfied from a few spoons of jello. I asked the doctor how often he has sees someone swell up so bad and he said about 2 in every hundred. The last resort would have been for him to go in and unbuckle the band, but thankfully I have avoided that for now!

So glad you're home and doing better! Wishing you nothing but the best!

Happy to hear things are better! Hopefully, all will be smooth sailing from here on out!

sorry to hear of the problems you are experiencing. glad things are getting better.

Hope you feel better soon! Glad you are home from hospital and you were able to get the care that you needed - thank goodness you went when you did! Lots of luck to you

Welcome home and good luck!
