I swallowed my dental appliance. It is stuck at the top of my stomach. I tried to vommit it up, no luck . Right now I don't know if I am more embarrassed or increasingly uncomfortable. Waiting in er room now.

Wow. I cant imagine what that must feel like. I hope you're triaged quickly and get relief soon! Good luck!

Oh Myrori!!! I hope this gets resolved soon! Sending lots of positive thougths your way!!!!!

So sorry!!! Hope u r ok!!!

Well it it now 337 am and I am home. Yes I did go back the hospital I had surgery at and I am NOT impressed in the least! I had to sit for 3 hours in the er waiting room for them to argue with me that was no longer in my stomach, I said I beg to differ, I can feel it. Then I had argue with the er doc that this was not going to pass as my anatomy was altered. She said it would and wanted me to eat to prove that myself that food was going down. I said iit may be but that does not meat this thing is not stuck and food is going around it. She then proceeds to bring apples sauce, 6 gram crackers and ice water. I told her that is more than I eat in a sitting and she looked at me like yeah right. Then told me to eat what I could, I finished the apple sauce and ended up in more pain at which point she thought calling my surgeon was a good thing. He wanted me to have a stat upper gi so they call the radiologists team who argues the need for the test and refused to come in. So they settle on cat scan which showed them nothing as the piece is plastic and does not show on cat scans. They have decided to send me home to look through my elimination and to return if I start vomiting/ fever or pain. I am suppose to see my surgeon on Monday for a scope. I will be calling the hospital administrator on Monday as I plan on chewing him a new one!

That is terrible. Good luck and hope everything "comes out ok". It would really suck if they had to do surgery to remove it.

Oh my god, Myrori, I am SO sorry... these hospital people, they are not good at listening to us when we tell them things... I had a similiar experience once with something that got stuck in my ear (long and very icky story I will spare you all) but I know what you are going through on that front.

I am sending you good energy and hoping that everything is okay and you don't get a blockage or require surgery for resolution. Please keep us posted!

*hugs*

Could you not speak with your Bariatric surgeon directly??? What a cluster f***k!! You poor soul. I would be calling the ER director and also the hospital ADM. Your treatment was completely unacceptable. Any hospital that does bariatric sugery needs to be equipped mentally as well as physically to treat bariatric patients. PLEASE keep us all posted! We all should use your experience as a learning curve.

Good luck. Prayers going your way.

Ohhh sweet lordy ! ! ! How ridiculous, I hope you get some answers soon. I'm still at a loss as to why they just wouldn't do a scope. Keep us posted!

Myrori,

What a nightmare... I agree with the others!

Please let us know how you get on... sending you hugs from across the pond! x

It is aggravating after sitting and waiting forever, then everyone making things as complicated as they possibly can to add to an already stressful situation. Sorry you're going thru this and hope you get it resolved soon!
