Too tight! Now in pain!

I got a fill last Thursday and was in terrible pain starting on Sat. Couldn't eat, sleep and even fluids wouldn't go down. Went in yesterday to get Fluid out. Well, I can now swallow but can't sleep due to the tremendous acid reflux. I am guessing there is swelling due to all of the vomiting.

Has anyone else had this? I am going to call dr. This morning but is it something that normally just needs to be waited out or is there something that you have taken that has helped in the past. I am not asking for medical advise just someone to put my fears at rest, at least a little. I,am so afraid all of the stress from this weekend did irreparable damage! Help!

You just have to wait it out and give your body time to heal. I was too tight, but not THAT tight when I had fluid removed in December. I go back to him today, and I'm going to ask for something between what I was before and where I am now.

Good luck!

@@Deedee13 it's a very good idea to give your Dr. a call and let them know how uncomfortable you are and that you are still experiencing acid re-flux at night. There are medications they can give you to help with all of these things and to help guard the stomach while you are healing.

The last thing you want is to leave it, you will continue to be uncomfortable and could cause other severe issues like erosion.

I have had these issues before and cause not only swelling but irritation to my stomach that was revealed on a endoscopy exam. I am no on preventive medication so that this does not happen again.

Let us know how you are doing OK?

I tried going to work today and they sent me home. Called the dr. And asked if there was a OTC or prescription he could give me dr the reflux. He explained to me it is all the band and it must still be too tight and he wanted me in as soon as possible. Feel much better but the true tet will be trying to sleep tonight! Thanks for your advice.
