I ended up in the ER last night for an emergency unfill. Started with reflux 5 nights ago and then wed. afternoon I was having a hard time keeping anything down. All day Thursday I just kept on vomiting all day. Whatever I drank or ate it came back up. I was feeling so weak and tired from the whole thing. I had called my doc. on Tues. and he said to start taking prilosec 2 times per day and sleep with my head up at night and dont eat or drink for 3 hours before bed. I feel like he was good when all was good and now that I am having problems he does not want to know anything. I only got a 0.25 cc fill last week and it really made a big difference. The PA in the ER said I was too tight. I was worried a had a slip of the band. What sucky feeling to be sooo hungry and can't eat or drink a thing. I am glad today that I am feeling better. Everyone out there please listen to your body and dont let your surgeon push u around. I have not spoken to him yet and he did not even call here to see how I was today. I was expecting to hear from him and nothing....

My advice to all out there is if you start with reflux syptoms go and get some taken out. I wanted to get to Onederland but not this way. Have a good weekend all.
