OK I am not sure if I am freaking out about nothing or what but what do you guys think? I was banded just over a year ago (June 28 2007) I have done well. Still a few up’s and down’s but I am really happy with my results!
Last night I was getting a massage and the girl started to press just below my rib cage (guts) right in the center. I felt a really strange feeling and ask her not to do that. About 1min after I felt that strange feeling and I started to get flu like symptoms. (my bones and joints start to act like they were weak, I got super sleepy, I even got a head ache!) The pain was not to to bad so on my walk home I stopped to get something to eat and drink. I had 3 small cocktails, and I ordered some fried rice. Everything went down fine with no problems. During my stay at the restaurant my symptoms increased so I quickly left to go home. By the time I was home (about 5mins) I was sick as a dog. I dropped to my knees and vomited the little bit I had for dinner and I felt better (for about an hour) Then I repeated the same every hour till now. The vomiting stop (because nothing left to come up) but now I just give the worst, most painful dry heave known to man. It does not feel like vomiting because something stuck or band related. It feels more like vomiting used to Pre band. I have not eaten since because of fear but I have been able to take water down. I called my doc and talked to one of the office people (a good friend) and she is going to talk to my doctor about it and order me an upper GI. The problem is I am only home about 2 days a month because of work and my lifestyle (traveling) It looks like the upper GI is going to be sept 22. Has anyone heard of a band slipping of braking due to a physical accident? Does any of this sound like something you’ve heard before. I am keeping my finger crossed hoping it’s the flu! I think this is the first time someone ever hoped for a flu. Anyhow any INFO you guys could give to me would be a big help. Thanks.
