Slightly discouraged...and scared

[Fluffy RN 0]

I've had such a bad week. I had my second fill (1cc) last week (for a total of 5cc in a 10cc band). I could get the sip of Water down in the Dr's office so I was sent on my way. The whole week has been miserable. I did my day of clears, followed by fulls. It's been a week and yogert, pudding, Protein Shakes still cause major pain. Nasty reflux that won't go away no matter what I do, and fluids just hurt going down as well. So, the Dr squeezed me in today. He was going to take out the cc. Well, he couldn't access the port. Stabbed me a few times and told me he couldn't get it. So, now I have to go to the hospital tomorrow for an upper GI series and an unfill under flouroscopy. Has anybody else had this? I'm very nervous. I was SO hoping he could just do the unfill in the office and this pain would be gone. So, I'm hopefuly tomorrow will do the trick. The only good news was I lost 7lbs in this past week. (not fun at all....but was the only good thing that came from this week of misery!!) The dr also mentioned "microfills." Has anybody else heard of this? Just wondering. Any info/encouragement would be great. Thanks:frown:

I think the microfills mean that they put in very small amounts e.g 0.2ml etc at a time. This way things are slower but there is less risk of an overfill and the discomfort that you are currently suffering.

Sorry to hear that you have had such a bad week. Hope that you get sorted out today and that things get better.
