I think I got suck on a small little pill this evening. It burns...sliming and dry heaving galore. Called the dr and left a message. Waiting to hear back now. It's so weird. Nothing is coming out when I dry heave. Just clear slimy saliva. Tried to drink warm tea...came right back up. Any suggestions?

the pill is gone. even in our pouches things will digest. I had one episode where no one could explain to me what happen. I was told esophageal spasm, swelling from being stuck and all I had was a drink of Water when I woke up in the morning. I had a heck of a time for hours. was even getting my shoes on to go to the ER when finally some warm tea went through the stoma and didn't cause me slime or bping. that little white pill may have started all this. it's good that you called your doctor he may unfill you just a bit so fluids can get through. we get dehydrated quickly so that will be a concern of his. give your stoma a couple of hours of rest and than try warm tea. and just sip tiny tiny sips. hope you feel better soon

If you're making yourself dry heave, stop. Stomach convulsions from heaving are one of the main causes of band slips. Your lower stomach violently convulses and this can cause the sutures holding the band in place to tear away.

BTW-Some pills do not disintegrate. Some pills remain intact and the drug leaches out over time in your digestive system. They can soften over time but it's possible to have one stuck in a tight band for many hours.

Thanks for the info. I went to the dr today and had .4cc removed from my band. I'm a little bummed as I was in the green zone for the first time EVER!! The dr said that a combination of being sick (bronchitis and tons of mucous) and getting stuck on that pill it is best to unfill a bit to let everything heal! Phew. I was so worried the dry heaving would harm the band!! That was my first time to ever have that happen. It was awful. Tonight I split the pill in half and took with milk. So far so good!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
