sakalmus 0 Posted May 31, 2008 I started having issues on Wednesday 5/28 so I went in the next day to have some Fluid removed, could not drink Water so went in yesterday to have all the fluid removed and as of this morning I STILL cannot keep even water down? I realize I am still swollen but this is rediculous. Should I drink warm/hot water vs. cold? Should I keep trying to drink something and hope that some of it is retaining being that I am pretty sure that I am dehydrated from not keeping anything down for the past two days? HELP any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onnie67 0 Posted May 31, 2008 have you tried sipping the Water. Only take in small amounts. I would also try room temperature...it is closer to your own bodies temp and might be easier to handle. I would also suggest you call the doc or his nurse. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sakalmus 0 Posted May 31, 2008 I have been calling my doctor and he suggested on Wednesday evening that I go in the next morning to have some removed, however I needed to go back in yesterday and have the totally remove all the Fluid. My stomach does not just hurt all the time but as soon as I start sipping Water it starts to ache right away. I will probably give him a call again today as I have lost 5lbs since Wednesday and am positive that I am dehydrated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sistasassy 6 Posted May 31, 2008 I have not been banded yet but I have read the others say that warm liquids go down easier. I would try to sip some hot tea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherO 7 Posted May 31, 2008 Dehydration is nothing to play with if you are going out several days without being able to keep anything down. At this point, since it is continuing and you have had a complete unfill I would think that it might be time to go have some testing done in case you have had a slip. Cold doesnt work for me when I am readlly tight. It has to be lukewarm or a hot beverage. I would put in an another emergency call to your doctor. Dehydration is dangerous and very easy if you can't drink anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowbird 2 Posted May 31, 2008 This is an emergency situation, and you may need an i.v. to get some fluids in. When you had the unfill, did you have a fluoroscopy to check the position of your band? If you are still unable to get Water down, don't let this go over the weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
