HELP!!!!!

[LPAYTON88 1]

Hi, I have been banded for a year and a half and I have had 5 fills and 1 unfill. Last visit they put a little back in and I did fine for a little while until now. I had went out with my friends to eat and got something stuck and lets just say I have been sick for days trying to get whatever it is out! I'm really sore and I am doing liquids again to see if I will feel better eventually but it has been going on 3 days and still no relief. My question is, is there anything that I can do besides get an unfill again because I am self pay and cannot afford to go in right now. Someone mentioned pineapple juice but that didn't work for me. I just need something to lodge whatever it is out. Obviously throwing up didn't do the trick, I think I might be swollen because of all the times I got sick but I just need relief!! someone help!!!!

I would call the doctor and explain your situation. It sounds like you are in crisis and I'm pretty sure they wont turn you away if you cant pay. Set up a payment plan or something, but this sounds like you need medical intervention. Good Luck!

You need to call your Dr. or go in to the E.R. part of the Hospital that you had surgery in. They will contact him. They will set something up for you, a payment plan. I know you don't want to hear that, but you have to do something.

Fluoroscope is not that expensive, and they can see what it is. Either go down and get it, or deflate you.

Good Luck with what you do ! Keep us in touch. Prayer does help.

I use warm Water and swallow slowly. Swallow after swallow until it goes through or comes up. But you still have to try to keep drinking until you feel clear.

You know your condition, but that's what I do.
