Throwing Up Blood

[okiekatt 40]

I had a stuck episode Friday did not want to throw up so I had fought it for about 4 hours and it finally cleared on its own, later I ate some cream of chicken Soup, and it was horrible felt like someone sitting on my chest hard to breathe, after about 3 hours I ended up throwing up the soup at first, then clear flem, the more I tried to fight it the worse it would be and then it was blood every 15 mins for 4 hours, it wasn’t a little steak it was handfuls after 3 hours of freaking out I woke up my partner and off to the ER we went.

What I have learned from this experience:

#1 ER nurses and doctors do not have a clue about lap bands, AT ALL

#2 Throwing up blood does not mean you are dying (my bad)

#3 If you have a sever stuck episode it needs to be followed with 24 hours of Clear Liquids.< /span>

#4 After a stuck episode never ever try to drink or eat in a reclined position.

#5 As much as you want to just lay down and die, walk walk walk vacuum do laundry etc. laying down it only gets worse,

#6 Morphine is not all that

yesterday I was unable to keep anything down, this morning so far I have had 1/2 cup Water and 1 cup tea, I will take is slow, and see what tomorrow brings if it isn’t better or gets worse I will call band doc and have it checked to see if it has slipped, but as of today I am hoping it has just gotten irritated and swollen.

Of course all this is my very unprofessional opinion just my very personal experence.
