Hi My name Mary , This is what happen to me yesterday during a routine unfill. thanks let me know if you want any more info. its just a quick letter to my friend i try to stay in touch with. I meet her on the lap band chat.pardent my grammer and spelling!:tongue:
well went to get a fill one wed this week. everything seemed good went to sleep had some reflux not to bad.
nest night a lil worse on soft foods. than last night i had claim chowder Soup for dinner and hot coco after wards.
Very hard night was up most of the night coughing cause every time i fell asleep i woke up feeling like i was drowning
i woke up from the noise to of my tummy trying to help things go down are should i say throat noises.
i felt like crap this mourning got up and called my dr on her cell. she was about a 2 hour drive away and wouldn't be back in town until around 8pm. she asked me to call back about 4pm to see when she would be on her way.
i called at 4pm she was going to be coming in around 6 and would call me when she was a few miles away.
she called i left and meet her about 6:30pm i had sipped on tea all day but only got maybe 3-4 oz down total
here we are in the office, things are going great she start the procedure and the needle is in Water is being taken in and all of a sudden i felt light headed. i let her know im felling light headed. she asked me if i want to sit i said "no im fine". than she says you look pale go ahead and sit down she goes to get me sugar and and some miso soup to get more liquids in my system.
Thank GOD i made my husband come for the first time!
all of a sudden i cant really hear things and i tell them im going to faint i try to stay awake but i cant.
i faint are fall asleep against my will :thumbup:
and i go into a seizure!!!
yea a seizure!!
than i can hear right at the end of it my husband asking her did you see that she just had a seizure and he had fear in his voice i could feel my body jerking just at the end for maybe seconds. my hands got stiff and felt numb and like they were asleep i couldn't move them for a good 5 minutes after that than as i drank soup things started to get better. during the seizure i knocked out my needle ( rolls eyes) . she set me up with iv and gave me all kinds of Vitamins. i felt way better !!! we left the office about 7:45pm after that had tunnel vision and couldent concentrate well for a few hours but im doing much better.
I dont have anything in my band right now im on a liquid only diet and will see her tuesday after noon. i will keep you posted. by the way i never have had a seizure in my life! it lasted 6-9 second to my knowledge.
