So on Monday I tried to have a little bit of Life Cereal in the morning. I never eat in the morning and should have known this would be a bad idea. Anyway, after two bites I stopped because I knew something was stuck. I went to the gym and hoped it would pass...it didn't and ended up coming back up. After that everything ended up coming back up. Not even Water would go down.
On Tuesday I went to my surgeon who took out a little bit of Fluid, I drank a bottle of water in front of him and everything felt fine. On my way back to work I kept sipping water, but when I reached work, twenty minutes later, for whatever reason my stomach had closed up and again water wasn't going down.
I called the doctor, had to go BACK in, have a whole cc removed and then could get water down again.
Keep in mind that before my incident with the cereal, I'd felt loose and had been planning on calling to schedule an appointment for a fill.
Now here I am, on Thursday. I'm able to drink water in small, small sips and a little bit of my Protein shake, but anything over a teeny, tiny sip causes pain as it passes through the band. Randomly, I keep getting pain in my stomach and I have to burp to allow the fluid to go down and have mild heartburn.
Yesterday I went for an upper GI, per my doctor's instructions to make sure the band hadn't slipped. The doctor who took the pictures told me it looked a little flat but that liquid was passing through and I looked alright.
Do I call my doctor and have more fluid taken out? I don't really want to do that and I'm hoping someone's had this problem in the past. Could it still just be inflamed and I have to give it a few more days to calm down?
Help...
