Hi Guys! Would love some extra support! Add me weluvrpreme14@yahoo.com

Hi guys! I wish I was writing for a better reason, but I got the flu. The one thing they tell you to try and avoid!! ( like you can do that!).....I have been vomiting for the past 24 hours. I actually ended up in the hospital for severe dehydration from loss of ALL my fluids. They tried to do an IV 4 times but I was so dehydrated they couldn't get it. My question to you is have any of you been sick with a GI bug like this to the point of vomiting. I know that vomiting is NOT good when you have the band, and they did take an x-rays of the band and said that it is VERY inflamed from the puking, but I begged them not to take out my saline. I don't want to go weeks with no restriction. So they left it in but told me if I puked anymore I was going to have to get it out. Has anyone had this issue, and what happened? How did your band take it? On top of worrying about the band...the thought of food makes me dry heave....so I am defiantly not getting my nutrition in, but all I can handle is water. Ugh!:thumbup:

Oh luckydog I am sorry you have the sickness too! If it is any consultation it doesn't last really more than 24 hours...I woke up this morning feeling a whole lot better. I hope you are feeling better!!
