Bad Stick Band Swollen

[SusieSunshine 68]

Hello people. So I had a bad stick on some Pasta last night. Threw up like 5 times. No big deal as it happens rarely and I can deal with it. My band is very irritated and swollen today from this. Is there any remedy you have? I am swollowing ice chips hoping this will sooth the problem. Anyone else have this happen?

Just stick with liquids for a day or 2 to help things calm down. Hope you're feeling better soon!

I actually drink something warm and that helps. I also take advil.

Try some hot tea.

My doctor said an antihistamine can sometimes help with that (Benadryl). Also hot tea...

Do you eat Pasta a lot? It is one of my doctor's no foods along with rice and popcorn.< /p>

vomitimg will cause slippage and possible removal...always call doctor when that happens..nothing calaual about vomiting I just recoved from just that and nas in the green again when dehydration flatten the band today and I am lucky they could just take out some and I feel good on the inside.

my two cents . . . my doctor says to avoid COLD foods and drinks when this happens; makes it worse; try WARM things like tea or Soup ~ good luck !

My doctor says warm fluids, after a fill. No cold fluids at all for a day. The stomach needs to take it easy after a fill, that's why your put on Clear Liquids for 2 days then a full diet, so your stomach can heal

My doctor very clearly advises liquids only the first 24 hours after a fill. You may want to ask your doc and consider that going forward if s/he advises you to do so.
