Miserable

[Hi-diddle-diddle 0]

Come February, I will have had my band for 3 years. Over that time, I have lost 125 lbs. However, over the last three weeks, I have been miserable. I can't eat ANYTHING and I can hardly drink anything either. I know I am dehydrated because I have lots of thick mucus all the time. I can't get an appointment until Dec 7th to have some of my fill taken out. I don't know what to do in the meantime. Any suggestions?

Hmm.. that sounds like something pretty serious.. especially if you can't really drink anything also.. I'd call my surgeons office and let them know how serious you feel this is.. and that you cannot wait until Dec 7th. thats crazy..

hope you feel better soon! :\ and grats on such an amazing weight loss.. I would be 10lbs shy of my goal when I get there.. exciting.

I agree with Destynee. Call the doc and explain the situation tomorrow. A quick visit to your doctor is much cheaper than a visit to the ER.

Definitely, you need to let your doctor's office know this cannot wait. If you are not able to do liquids or sufficient amounts of liquids and no food you are jeopardizing your health, big time. If you are able to get liquids down, I would still call them back and express it urgent. In the meanwhile, I would stick to sipping Protein Drinks and avoid food so you don't irritate it worse. It sounds like the band may have slipped which requires immediate attention. Please, please call them back or go to ER.
