I hope you have called your doc's on call pager service at a minimum by now. Please update us when you get a chance. Did you go to the ER? Are you alright?

no i havent called anyone.. i havent went to the ER im scared...

Ok, let me break this down for you as simply as possible.

Vomit + Blood = Bad = Necessary hospital visit.

I agree - But would add you should call your band doc's office on the way. They should have a 24 hour pager service to get hold of someone and it is important to let them know you are headed to the ER so they can assist the ER docs in any way necessary.

please, Please PLEASE!!! Go to the hospital. Hopefully it isn't anything serious but the longer you wait the greater the chance you could be doing yourself more harm than good.

I'm not trying to scare you more but just GO!!!

If you refuse to go. At least call the band doc's service. Let them know what happened and let them decide if they want to see you on Sunday or if you can wait till next week.

If you don't call I'm tempted to call my band doc for you. The band has very few complications and very few that are serious but any symptom like vomiting blood so soon after surger is very SERIOUS. I'm worried for you.

Understand this is all being said by someone who won't normally go to the doc unless a drug there under extreme duress.

You said you ate some food that disagreed with you. What exactly did you eat? At two weeks out I imagine at the most you are on mushies or "soft food" at this point. I would think you'd not be eating anything solid at this point. What food was it?

What were you eating? It had better have been Soup b/c you're not supposed to be eating solids yet and it sounds like you ripped the stitches with your retching.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
