Yesterday did not start off much better than the day before.

I was still feeling sick, with acid reflux and vomiting. I was not eating, only drinking. I called my nurse and she called the doctor. He wanted to do a barium swallow.

Both the nurse and the doctor were confident that I had no slipped, but wanted to make sure due to my symptoms.

I had heard horror stories about the barium swallow, but it was not that bad. It was chalky, but not disgusting.

It was really cool to see the liquid travel through my esophagus and through my band. I was relieved when my doctor said "well, perfect band placement. And, you are wide open after the deflation yesterday."

Thank God. No slippage.

So, my symptoms were likely caused by a virus. Not surprising, considering a couple of my employees have been out sick with it. I must admit though, I immediately feared the worst.

I feel much better today. No more vomiting, but still in the bathroom a lot. :thumbdown:

I am so thankful to have such an awesome doctor and nurse. I felt so bad to keep calling, however, I was scared! I have read so many stories of people having these symptoms with the band and I feared that was happening to me. I am lucky that they care and put up with me!

Now I guess I will have to start all over again with the fills. I guess that I may not have even ever been too tight, but the symptoms were caused by that nasty virus. Oh well, better safe than sorry!
