Anyone know of Dr De Bruyne Chris

Hello

I'M STARVIN !! still can't swallow any food at all. Havin trouble keepin Fluid down can only manage tiny sips. Phoned out of hours Dr he said it sounds like oesphagitis is back and I need barium swallow done I've just gone on my Doc's website and got emergency app for the morning. Oh the joys ! :thumbdown:

ps.I don't feel this is directly linked to band it's because I stopped meds because they were tablets and couldn't be broken or crushed due to time release. I hope this prevents others making the same mistake if on meds long term.

Oh poor you, I hope the doc sorts you out tomorrow, I'm sure he/she will. I hope ur not in too much pain x

Yes I emailed fred and he confirmed that there is defo no dates left in August. He also says dates are starting to fill up for october.

I have been ok recently eating but last night tried to eat a breaded chicken breast had the horibble tightness and then was sick. I think it might be really trying to concentrate on chewing and eating really really slowly. Jx

Let's hope ur sister and partner can sort a date out soon. I booked about 2 months in advance but could've got in quicker. Are there no Friday 13th's coming up??!! I was banded on Friday 13th and was the only one!! :thumbup: Superstitious lot!

Poor u - I hope you can get a bit more food down. I've not actually been sick yet but there have been a few close calls! A few times (not recently) I've had that feeling when u produce lots of saliva and feel like ur going to:puke: hurl!

Thanks for all ur well wishes guys by the way. How was ur date Freckles and Mmm the grannies to be!!?!!

Gillian I've bought some arrowroot biccies they do help. I'm not a ginger tea fan to be honest so I'll leave that one, maybe some ginger biccies instead! I have'nt managed anything proper to eat today as feeling so nauseous! It's been crisps, crackers and biccies! I'll have to watch it but I'm trying to only eat them when the nausea is bad. I'm taknig pregnacare multi vits anyway so it should be OK. Tomorrow is another day, I'll make sure I'm better!

How's ur leaking Flirty, has it stopped?

Off to see the midwife tomorrow :thumbdown:

Tuscany on Friday...............woooooooop! Oh and I can eat pizza since I had a bit of a de-fill :scared2: - good job I'm only away for a week!

Hi Sammy, just in case I'm not on again much in the week, have a wonderful holiday and take good care of yourself, x

Anitahug - hope your problem is soon resolved, never had anything like that myself but sounds v unpleasant.

Homecare - hope your relatives can get a date sorted out soon, even if it is later than they would have preferred, it will soon come round.

Hope everyone else is doing fine, Bigsis xx

Thanks Sammy and homecare,

I had to go to out of hours he give me anti sickness injection,and when I came home I crushed a nexium (couldn't make me feel any worse) and went to bed.

I already feel much better have just had ice lolly and drink and they have stayed down :thumbdown: I'm going to take more at bed time. Here's hoping continue to improve, I really hope I won't need barium swallow tommorow because that drink we had to take after op for xray was BL**dy awful. But it was hilarious the look on everyone face when they came out.

Lisa/ Michelle how's it goin?

Clara where r u ?

yeh funnily i had the same thought 6 weeks ago and text her, she got cold feet and felt guilty about not being able to loose weight on her own, a wee shame if you feel that way as it starts the demons in her head, i tried to tell her she was doing it for the right reasons but she said she may in sep/oct.
