Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

hi bobobaldy, thanks for your reply. i went for a defill on thursday night as i was at the end of my tether. the nurse said if i had left it one more day i would have been in hospital. the whole week was such an awful experience but at least i can drink fluids again and manage a few tucs.my feet are also warm again which is a blessing. it was only my third fill and one ml but the nurse said i am highely unlikely to go above 6ml.i will wait a few months before i even think about getting half a ml in. i was also thinking it mightbe a good idea to get an xray done just to check i havent done any permanent damaage. is there anyone recommend somewhere in ireland or do i go through my gp. thanks geri:blush: -

Hi guys Its been awhile since my last post. My query is I got a 1 mil fill in Dublin this day last week which brought me up to 6 mils but this past week I have been unable to tolerate liquids or food. I have been barfing constantly and at times I vomited black mucus. My question is : Is this an overfill? And after a certain period of time will an overfill correct itself? This morning was the first day that I have been able to keep down a cup of tea. I dont really want to go for an unfill unless absolutely necessary but cannot live like this for much longer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know if you go to the nurse in Dublin does she always take out 2 mil or can you ask her to take out just half a mil??? Thanks Geri11 -
hi maree,
i am at the i can eat anything i want except for bread, thats a no no for me. i always felt maree and still do that it is a matter of hitting your fill spot.i had 3mls in first fill getting 2mls in second and after that i hope not to be too far away from restriction.am glad to hear you are doing so well my mobile is 0879181907 if you ever want to have a chat. the forum has gone very quiet which is a shame but i think everyone kind of does their own thing at the end of the day.
talk soon

Hi Geri, really glad to hear from you as I'd been thinking of you. Have you been getting plenty of protein? Which food stage are you at now? Geri, did you get plenty of info to help with food choices for the different stages, healthy choices + ideas for snacks etc? I could make copies of my notes for you.
Geri, would love to meet up sometime! It would just be fab to have a friend whose going thru this as well. we could support each other.
Geri, hang in there, you have done the right thing! It does get easier as your understanding of how the band works grows!
take care,
Maree
