A horrible night...

[sweetbean70 2]

This past Tuesday (4/6) late evening (11pm ish) I started to feel very queasy. I thought that perhaps I hadn't taken my pills w/ enough Water. I went to bed figuring the discomfort would subside. Around 12:30am, I woke up and ran to the bathroom. As I am sitting on the toilet w/ my head in the trashcan having the most God-awful dry heaves, I kept praying NOT TO THROW UP b/c I was terrified that something bad would happen to my band. This cycle of dry heaves and praying continued about evey 45 minutes for the next 6 hours. By 7am Wednesday morning, I was so weak I could hardly hold my head up, my back and ribs were killing me from heaving so hard, and I stunk from dreadful cases of fever-induced sweating. I still forced myself to take sips of water b/c I wanted to make sure that I hadn't damaged my band. Is this the thinking of a SANE PERSON?!?!?! Thank God the water stayed down. So about noon, I decided to upgrade from water to Gatorade and popscicles. I have stayed on this regimen for nearly 21 hours. I have absolutely no desire to try anything remotely mushy or solid. I have a fill appt. tomorrow morning and you better beleive that I will be sharing my experience w/ the doctor!

I'm so sorry you are going through this, but since you are keeping Water down it was probably a stomach bug or food poisoning. I bet your band is OK, keep us updated.

Hope you are feeling better, Sweetbean. What did you have for dinner on Tuesday evening, before you got sick?

Sorry you're going through this. It is good that the Water is staying down. Did you eat anything out of the ordinary? Perhaps you have a touch of food poisoning? Have you had any recent fills?

I hope you are feeling better as I'm typing this.

I think there is something going around!

There was another thread about this I just read.

My husband was throwing up ALL night last night

and I'm praying I don't catch it.

It must be strong too because he never gets sick.

His friend and friend's wife were also heaving the last few days.

Just fever and vomiting...

Thanks for all of your words of concern and encouragement

I went for a scheduled fill appointment today (4/9) and told the doctor all about my "horrible night." I was told to take a Phenegren if I am nauseated for more than 15 minutes again in the future. The doctor felt reasonably sure that I hadn't damaged my band b/c I was holding down liquids without any trouble. After discussing all of this, he looked at my weighloss from my last fill appt. (8lbs in 4 wks) and asked ME what kind of a fill I thought I needed. I was thinking maybe .4CCs. He told me that my weightloss was right on target and that he really didn't want to put even .1CC in my band b/c that could cause me to be uncomfortable. If I felt that I needed a fill in 2-3 weeks, I could call to make an appointment. I decided to go w/ his recommendation. In other words... I AM AT MY SWEET SPOT!!!!! :biggrin:

MY SWEET SPOT = 5.1CCs/10CC band, 75lbs lost in 10 months + 1 day

I had the same thing 3 weeks ago, it was awful. Lasted 12 hours then I put myself on liquids for 2 days.

Take it easy and life will get better.
