vicki,

i feel the same way...every time i get a fill it has to be taken out...cant seem to find the right spot

well, I am definitly calling tomorrow, i can't get Water or anything to go down and I tried to eat vanilla icecream to soothe and reduce inflamation, and then that wouldn't move and when it came out it had blood in it and this morning i could taste blood...I am terrified now. I am having new carpet installed tomorrow so if i cant get in tomorrow I have to see someone tues. He is gonna have to scope me cause i wont be at ease until i know everything is ok..

ps. i hit the 100 lb mark today, kinda bitter sweet with the misery i am in...i also bought a pair or slacks and skirt today size 14 and loose. i hope everything is ok so i can be happy with this accomplishment...

because if you cant get Water down, you shouldnt wait. if you cant swallow water you wont be able to swallow anything and so you shouldnt wait. if you are that swollen you are too tight vicki. i had to call him once on the weekend and he met me at the hospital to take some fill out. its not good that you cant swallow water

Yes, I agree, but I figured I went the last few days so i would just wait till morning. were u like this when u met him. also, My boyfriends daughter in law is an ER nurse there and she is a bitch and the last one I would want to know my business. I hate this formum, do u have to log off and get back on to get reply s and then it take forever to get the page back!

when i met him i had the severe heartburn. but he didnt even have me go to the ed. he met me at the door and took me to a room there and did the unfill. even if he doesnt have you go tonite at least you can talk to him and let him know whats going on

i called the clinic number and they have a msg that gives you the number to call. i figured this way you talk to him. he may tell you to wait till tomorrow, but always better to be safe...im going to ask him myself to do an upper gi on me to check my band

I had the upper GI done 2 weeks ago, and everything was great, no restriction band placement was good, Barb says that about all that shows. I know Yvette (BIG GURL X) just had the scope done cause she was worried too. so i'm gonna ask him to schedule it. sh**, i guess this is the down side of the band....

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
