Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!
Yesterday was a very unpleasant day in my band land.
I got a fill on Wednesday, and immediately felt too tight. As I said before, I went from too loose to too tight in a matter of minutes. So weird! I called the nurse Wednesday night because I started having heartburn and acid reflux - without eating! She advised to come in Thursday afternoon for a deflation.
I didn't sleep at all that night because was afraid to lay down; I cannot sleep sitting up. 2:30pm FINALLY rolled around. Went to the doc and he took out 0.5cc's. He said if I did not feel better to call.
I started to feel somewhat better, but not completely. The acid was still there, but not as bad. I did, however, get hungry. So, I took MAYBE 6 small sips of a protein shake. Felt great!
A couple of hours later, I found myself nauseous and having really bad heartburn/acid reflux. Soon thereafter I started dry heaving - violently. My fiance called the nurse and she said to stop all liquids. I complied.
However, my body also complied by continuing to dry heave! He called the nurse again, and she called the doc. By this time it was almost 7pm. She immediately called him back, and said that the doc wanted me to go to the surgery center right away.
So, here we go with my barf bucket (by now it was not always dry heave, but also swallowed saliva...yummy). The doc got there a bit later and did an "aggressive deflation" until I feel better. Let me tell you, immediate relief! I feel somewhat better today, but not completely. I am not hungry, but am still burping. Hopefully that is just because I am still swollen from yesterday's events. Hopefully! I just am so scared to have this thing slip.
In better news, I have lost 2 more pounds! 41 gone!:thumbup:
