Monday night found me in the ER and tuesday pm found me at Dr Speigels getting and unfill. Thank everyone so much for you concern and comments, they did not go unread. My problem, it turns out was that I had food poisening from mussels and before I could get over that, I caught that nasty stomach bug going around. Lots o vomiting lead to extreme swelling in my esophogus, my unfill has allowed me to get down the powerade that I need to get better not to mention the chicken soup. It will take time to get over the weakness(and the phenergan they shot me with) thanks so much for listening(readin):tired :kiss

How awful! I'm glad you know what caused it. Hope your recovery is quick and easy. That would be so scary!

yes this has been very scary for me, but aside from being a little weak, I feel much better already, oh yeah and my throat is a little sore. thanks for the post:)

Hey I am so glad that you are going to live! Did you say that you got food poisioning from muscles. Is that a sea food? I dont know a lot but that sounds awful. How much of a fill did you have and hows your weight loss to date? Just wondering? Take it easy...Janie

I hope he did an Upper GI to make sure the band looks okay?

Glad to hear you went for help! Feel better soon!

Minda, that's really scary! Thank goodness you went to the dr.! Please take care of yourself! Sending warms ((((hugs)))) and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Minda, so glad to hear from you! We were ALL getting worried.

Im with Leatha... did he do any test to make sure the band was still in the proper place?

I posted a thread about a month ago regarding THIS exact situation - reagarding what happens when we have a stomach virus or food poisoning and have to vomit from the stomach - NOT the pouch. This was the only question that bothered me about getting the band.

Glad you are on the road to healing!

Find out if they were fresh or frozen. If they were frozen you're a very lucky person. They may have been harvested in their poisonous month.

Sheeeesh. go through major surgery to beat the enemy, food, and find that food is still the enemy.
