Don't touch her, she banded !

I was in Toronto to get a fill on Thursday. Everything went well, but on Saturday I started not being able to eat yogurt, then it became juice and water. A little tea was ok. On Sunday morning things were the same so I called the clinic knowing it was closed, but hoped there was instructions if you need help.Nothing. Sooo I went to a hospital down town Toronto, I think it was Mount...... ( something , Well they would not touch me because of the band and said that I should wait until Monday... I was flying bacl on Sunday night...... As things go, It settled down so I left Toronto. What should I have done ? I am a little concerned, what if it flares up... what caused it ? Pretty scary not feeling that you can swallow water ! :biggrin:

You likely had some delayed swelling from the fill. The squeezing of the fill can cause the stomach tissues to swell which will make you tighter. Probably why the tea went down--hot drinks sometimes help reduce the swelling a bit.

I am surprised at the reaction of the hospital though.

Me too ! Considering I was from out of town, I expected something ! Well now that I am back at home things are better. I am able to eat thick soup, protein shake and crackers. I am so taking it slow. I will ask the clinic what I should do if that ever happens again. :biggrin:

Dr Yau works with Scarboug Grace hosp.He has trained a few doctors.If the dr.on call can't do it they will page him.I had to have a defill 3 weeks ago. i am feeling better now.

Good to hear you are doing better!

I was overfilled on my last fill, I felt fine when I left the office but that night I got tighter. I couldn't get anything down and by the next morning I could barely swallow my own saliva. I had to wait until the afternoon to get my slight unfill. So I understand how miserable you felt.

It is no fun.It was 2 weeks after my fill that i became tight.I don't know if i got something stuck or if it was the flu but i was some sick for 1 week til i got the defill.I am glad you are feeling better to Jodi.It is not fun.

I have to fly to Toronto to get fills so I sure hope that it keeps going good. I really don't want to have to fly back.
