Just looked on one of the uk wls message boards and no emergency fill providers listed in your area. You can always give casualty a try. They have to treat you in an emergency and if you can't take fluids you are dehydrated. The problem is that many won't have dealt with a band before so may not know how to do it. If you have a local hospital with a bariatric unit they might be your best bet.

If you can take on Fluid, then you should be safe until Tuesday but dehydration is very bad for you. Try sipping hot black tea off a tea spoon. sometimes a hot drink opens the band a little. If you can't drink freely, then try sucking ice cubes.

Take care and hope you get things sorted.

      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.
