Have I slipped?

Ruthie · February 13, 2006

Ok this is more for my own curiosity then anything.... just trying to find out what the vast majority think... I have an appointment with my dr. to find out for sure this week...

So three weeks ago I had a terrible cold... week two it turned in to bronchitis... cough so hard I threw up all the time... went on antibiotics and it started to get better... end of week two I started having problems keeping stuff down. So I went on liquids... I'm now on week two of straight liquids and I have problems keeping those down as well.

Stuff goes down fine but it doesn't stay down. I don't feel tight and like I said it's not a problem getting the stuff down but keeping it down. Sometimes it will stay down for at least fifteen minutes and then it will all come back down.

I'm able to keep about half of what I drink down. I'm being really careful to make sure I don't get dehydrated and so far I feel good.

I haven't had any reflux or tasted any stomach acid but I've also never had problems keeping stuff down like this.

I'm almost positive I've slipped since I've never felt anything like this before. i find out for sure this week.

Just curious as to what others have to say and if any of you that have slipped have had problems like this i.e. keeping stuff down.

any help would be appreciated!

thanks!

I cant say if you slipped or not, but I think you should call your Dr. and let him know. I know you have an appointment with him but i wuld give him a call anyway, he might want to see you sooner. Good Luck with everything and Let us know what happens. Take Care

Oh, Ruthie, what a pain. :cool: I know, I had bronchitis over the winter too, and it's a BEAR to get rid of.

Trish is right, we can't tell you if your band has slipped. It may have, it may not have. I've seen many, many people be absolutely POSITIVE their band has slipped only to be reassured upon an x-ray that everything is in order. One thing's for sure, you need to keep babying yourself until you get the answer to this situation. :hug
