Swelling after being stuck with vomitting.....HMMMMM

[onenuttynurse 0]

Been banded almost a year and half. Sure I have had a few problems with vomitting, trying to learn this band like everyone else. Got my first fill in a long time about 5 days ago. It felt tight, but no big deal, liquids going down well. Tried to eat a little piece of meat this morning, chewing like I do, and BAM..stuck with a pretty violent emesis(vomit) to follow. Went to bed, woke up, and WOW..I am pretty swollen with some pretty fiece esophogus pain from vomitting..Little acid burning from vomitting I am sure...SO...Liquids are going down, but its S-L-O-W- GOING WITH SOME GURGLING....but they are doing down with consistant sipping of liquids...Can take my pills still, but liqids are the only thing that i can get down...SOLUTION>>>>>>I am going to stay on lots of liquids for 2 days or so, and see if the swelling goes down and this is just from having a fill..OR ..I thought I would wait about 4 or 5 days to see if it calms down and if not, Then I will go in....i AM NOT SOMEONE WHO RUNS TO THE DR. OR CALLS THEM FOR EVERYTHING...Nurses are their worst enemies...any thoughts fellow memebers........Thanks...onenuttynurse...

I think you are right on target. I would do nothing but liquids for 2 days. If it you don't feel better, call your doctor. Do you have any pain?

As long as you can stay hydrated no worries, but if you are still having problems, I'd be calling to get an unfill before this coming week is over.

Try about 3 1/2 days liquid only !, then a day of mushies, then try food. If no luck then go in.

If it's only swelling,,, it should go down.

I had a fill a few months back that did the same thing. I did a day of mostly warm liquids, next day regular liquids then mushies, and then went back to solids but focused on banding basics. What has really helped me loose weight and not get stuck is taking pencil eraser sized bites. If I can stick to that, I don't get stuck no matter what I eat. Best of luck! It is hard to remember the basics when your band has been loose for awhile.
