Call the doc on call right now.

How long have you been barfing saliva?

I KNOW how miserable this is, it's absolutely horrible. Call the on call doc NOW! If you keep barfing saliva you will start to PB blood, you can't mess with this. Call the doc on call immediately. If you can't reach a doc go to ER. They may not know how to unfill you but they can rehydrate you.

i don't know my doc's number! :'( and the centre is closed!... should i go to emergency?! :| and what will they do for me?

They should never have let you walk out the door if you couldn't drink water... Next time you get a fill - hang out in the waiting room for a bit and then drink some Water before you leave.

Hugs!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
