michelle43mi 2 Posted April 24, 2006 last monday i went for my check up and dr said lets try one more small fill i was doing ok but not really losing and not staying full so he did .5 that put me to 1.5 in my 4 cc band did the liquids the rest of the day and the next day did full liquids then to soft but i notice tightness by then.. i wasnt feeling well on thurs or friday so i really didnt eat sat comes and i had a bit of hot Tomato Soup i really coudnt get soilds down so i thought ok maybe im a bit to tight or from not feeling welll.. so sunday morning came and i got up and was thirsty i really didnt realize i hadnt drank very much over the last couple days cause i was just sleeping a lot so any way i take a drink and YUP girgled it right back up so i tried again nothing would go down so i called dr and he said go to ER the chief or surgery came down and they did a swollow test TIGHT AS A DRUM! so they took out the .5 that my dr put in on monday and weeeeeeeeee Water went down no prob!~ i begged them not to take it all they wanted to i said i was fine before the last fill no probs so they let me keep it. Im feeling much better now they said i was very dyhydrated and that prob why i wasnt feeling well I guess you really need to learn to listen to your body with this new tool ..

JanetC 2 Posted April 24, 2006 Ouch! I'm so glad you got to keep most of your fill! And I'm glad you didn't wait too long to get it taken care of! Scary stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunta 5 Posted April 24, 2006 I'm so glad you posted this. It helped me make my decision. I was debating if I should get fill #2 right before I went travelling out of town. I have now decided against it because the same thing could happen to me (I currently have 1cc in a 4cc band) as happened to you, and I sure don't want to be far from my doc if anything like that were to happen. So glad you're feeling better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
