Oh bandiva i cannot stress enough! listen to what the doc recommends for u. you dont want to be travelling back for a defill, trust me on this. just went to walmart on my lunch hour to get some kids chewable tylenol cuz i still have a pain in my chest.

You should ask cloe why the sheep are green, she's our sheep exper....wait a minute,YOURE cloe! oh maybe we could ask GREEN why the sheep are green!

Hi Absteph! welcome I agree with cloe! so many newbies! it's wonderful!

Oh wow, i'm glad you werent in as much distress as i was, cuz if i flet that bad away from home, i don't know how i would handle it!!! Look at your ticker!!! 176 you lucky girl you! Boy that guy was brave talking to a strange woman like that. he must have been a confirmed bachelor. it would be hilarious if you went pms all over him! yelling and crying and asking him if u looked fat!hehehe

Hey man i took my lumps! now its lilas turn! WHERE ARE U LILA!?!?!

your a saint yoda, right? ST. YODA OF THE SILICONE FIST (I meant the band all you dirty minds!)

OOOh wheezy have you and dr. m had a falling out!? hehehe

OOOOH LILA! They're all after you now girl! Better come home and face the music!!!!

I BELIEVE I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SHOCK YODA!!!!!

I do feel better Argon, but still having a LOT of restriction! Yah Yoda, I'm gonna totally have to eat humble pie the next time i see him!

Ok fine, it was the husky truck stop on the 401 and it was for the money, i needed it to get a cheeseburger! okay, you all happy now!!! hmmm???

Thanks for your good thought everyone!!! Okay called bright and early mon morning (9:00)and they said i could come in at 3 and dr. c. could take out th efill. I hung up the phone and thought screw that and got in the car. I got there at 12:30 and no patients were there at all. Sue and tammy were tho. Sue said she would call Dr. m and see if she could take it out. I said i want to go down to 1.6 but Dr. m (after yelling he told me so) said i had to go right down to 1.5, which was fine by me at this point. They made me drink a whole glass of water (which took me about 15 minutes) and made me go out and get some soup and come back and let them know that i got it down. I am still VERY tight, but not in agony, and dr. m said its gonna be rough for a while til the self imposed SWELLING goes down. at least i can slowly get water down. ps. they were kinda horrified when they weighed me and i was down over 5lbs in 3 days. I think once i get rehydrated tho, it will bounce back up, so i'm not changing my ticker til my weigh in day on thursday.

No cloe, i already had 1.5 and he topped it up .25.

It may come to that Argon!!!

Hey argon, I really really hope they let me come down tomorrow, or else i may try doing it myself with a darning needle and a turkey baster!

yah poor lila, at least i'm not on vacation!

Damn, they swore they'd never tell! btw what were you doing in the mens room HMMMM?

i know, iknow. Thanks for the support tho!hehehe

Welcome to our merry little band guys!

Carbonation in pop hurts Astrotoes! take from one who has tried it! Hey argon, I drink caesars now too! and i tend to get looser when drinking booze too.

Hi Everyone, went for a small fill on thursday, cuz i was starting to be able to eat more. Well....what a dumbass am I? Dr. Mumford tried to talk me out of it, but being a smarty pants, i told him that i had driven 4 hours to see him couldn't he puleeeze put some in? So he put in 2.5mls. I am dying, i have written my will. Its awful. Swallowing spit hurts. I'm forcing myself to sip warm fluids cuz i'm terrrified of getting dehydrated. I left a msg on the clinics phone, and will call again right at 9 tomorrow when they open. I hope like hell they tell me to drive down right away! I don't care who takes the fluid out...dr., his nurse, the bldg janitor, anyone!:think

Thank you Dr. C for your quick response. Thanks fo rthe hugs Mandy! Just what i need right now.

Hi Dr. C. :help: I had my third fill 2 days ago. My first fill was 1 ml in a 4 cc band, 2nd fill .5 cc. with no problems. I had .25 (so total 1.75) put in 2 days ago and now i am having trouble drinking water. I feel like burping all the time and have to take tiny sips and wait a while in between...too scared to even attempt solid food. My question is, am i over filled, should i wait and see if it "settles down"? or should i go back for an unfill. My Doctor is a 4 hour drive away. Thanks in advance for your help!

thanks mandy, that's what i think too, I guess i'm just dreading the long drive!!! stupid eh?

Gee, Lila, I'm sorry that your having such troubles. like everyone said here, tho, try your best to drink, dehydration can be a bummer!
