Can't keep food or water down

[MaHall 0]

I am having a tough time. Nothing is staying down for over 2 weeks now. I have tried the liquid diet, the frozen diet, I am throwing up everything, even liquids. The acid reflux is awful and smells like rotten eggs.

I began getting cramps in my legs yesterday, and today they extend to my arms. I have no doctor in MD, as I had my lap band in Detroit.

I can not go to the local ER, they have no lap band knowledge at all (Anne Arundel County)

Help

You need to get into a doctor asap! It sounds like you are dehydrated. My surgeon is Dr. Babak Molinolmolki with the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. He's a little aloof but really cares about his patients. He and his staff are always ready to answer questions. You might try giving them a call, tell them that your surgery was in Detroit but you now reside in MD and need follow up care. Please don't wait any longer! Good luck!

do you have a number for him? I am ready to go to the hospital but I dont' know where to go

443-849-3779, his staff just call him Dr. M because no one can say his name. Let me know if you need anything else! Good Luck and be sure and let me know how is goes.

I have lost 80 lbs total

I was wondering if this was because ALL of me is so much smaller these days

When were you banded? You are doing a great job! I am so excited about future possibilities aren't you!

Hello MaHall you are dehydrated go to the ER and they will give you an IV. Check your local hospitals on line and find one with gastric doctors. Try Sibley Hospital, George Washington Hospital and Washington Hospital Center.
