Recently Relocated To Ma And Need An Unfill Asap



Recommended Posts

Hi. I've just relocated from the West Coast to the East Coast and this month is my 2 year Bandiversary. My band is suddenly too tight and I have been unable to eat or drink regularly for three weeks. Everything I input comes flying back out in less than 3 minutes. I'm sooo Thirsty... I keep drinking Water and juice hoping some is being absorbed before I throw up. I think I have been able to eat 4-5 times in the last three weeks where I had NO problems... Its gradually gotten worse to the point now that nothing has stayed down in 4 days. DOES ANYONE know of a lb doctor in the Fall River or surrounding areas? At this point its Saturday, New Years Eve and I may end up in the ER to get an unfill. I'm so thirsty... and I've only been going pee (very little comes out) about 2-3 times a day and I normlly go about 15 times a day/night.

Thank you for the responses! I never saw them until today. On New Years Eve, I ended up at Charlton ER which is two blocks from my house and they couldn't help me. They sent me to Providence hospital where I sat for several hours while they looked for a dr who could help. They gave me a couple bags of IV Fluid stuff and at 11:15 pm an Angel named Dr. Roye came in and unfilled me, and he is now my Dr. They had told me he couldn't come in until his wife got home after midnight, but he found a babysitter or his wife came home early or something. He is a wonderful Dr. And I super duper appreciate him!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
