I had my first fill today

Lucygirl · June 6, 2007

I thought I was going to DIE! I guess my band is a 11? not sure what that means, they only put in 3cc's, they had me drink a half a bottle of Water before I left, I felt kinda wierd but nothing alarming,,,then I got back to work about 25 min later, I started getting horrible pains in my upper back, felt like I had to burp over and over but nothing helped., It got so bad I thought I was going to have to call 911. I called the center they told me to come back, by the time I got there 15 min later I was in tears and could barley walk, they rushed me in the back and imediantly removed all 3cc and I had instant relief. They nurse thinks the Dr was trying to get me to my "sweet spot" too soon and my body couldnt handle it. They put back in 1cc and told me to do liquids for 2 days then 1 day mushys, they said that if after the forth day I dont feel my portions are smaller they will do another fill in 2 weeks. I thought I had done alot of research on this but was completly un prepared for this, do you think part of it was the barion for the furoscopy fill?:help:

completely fine now, unfortunatly I dont have feel any restriction in my portions, So will go back in a week and half for another fill. Bad part is, now because of what happened they are going to fill me VERYslowly, sucks, I really thinks this was barium, since they only put in 3cc and the band holds 10...I will keep you posted>
