Preventive Unfill: Stomach Flu and Vomiting

Yesterday was horrible, I had a severe bout of vomiting and it all but terrified me. I couldn't keep anything down and at first I was afraid I'd slipped, then the confirmation that something else was at hand when the other end got started. I was so afraid that I would or had hurt my band (the vomiting was uncontrolled and heaving "violent") that I called an got an emergency appointment and was seen this morning. After a barrium swallow and x-ray, I was relieved to see and hear that my band was "perfect". I opted for a .5cc unfill to be on the safe side, I don't know how long this is going to last and I don't want to risk doing any damage in case it should happen again. I'm going back to get the .5cc in two weeks, I just wanted a bit more flexibiity for the time being.

I do! Dr. Reilly at West Houston Medical Center, Houston, TX is phenomenal, I couldn't have placed my life in better hands.

Yes! I was exhausted and was worried about how I was going to make it home from work. I haven't felt like that in ages! Drenched in sweat, crying, makeup and hair all over the place...not a good look or feeling on the job. LOL

That is my new worst fear...

Sending good wishes your way! And so happy to have you as a role model. You rock!
