First fill from Hell!

[dayana4100 6]

Hi all, so Thursday I had an appointment to get filled. I was banded 8/13/14... So the surgeon put in 3 cc's and told me to sit and relax and drink half of cup of Water. Needless to say I could not keep anything down. So it was emptied to 1 cc. To make a long story short I was sent to the ER right from my surgeons office. I was admitted as I could not keep not keep anything down even with 1 cc... My band is now emptied of all fluids and deflated of air. I have been home for 24 hours and I am still having problem keep liquids down. Has anyone experienced this... I was sweating profusely when I got my fill and kept on throwing up phlegm. I was put on morphine and given IV Fluid to hydrate me... Is the band trying to tell me something? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

I have no advice... I'm newly banded myself, but I hope you start to feeling better.

Feel better soon! It sounds to me like you are going through the same virus that one of my friends finally fought off rather than having a reaction to the band.

Doesn't sound band related... hang in there!!!

Terribly sorry your having a rough time. I too think it sounds more like a virus. I had .5 too much in the office and went to drink and couldn't get it down. The practitioner removed some and I was good to go. Feel better soon.

Just a guess? Maybe esophogeal spasm?

Well it is day 4 since my episode and although I am able to keep liquids down that is all I can keep down. I have not even tried for purée or solids as I have to sip slowly for liquids to go down. My band is acting like it is completely full when in fact I know it's empty. I guess my stoma is swollen from the trauma that it went through. I will see my surgeon next week and hopefully get some alternatives.
