Anyone else to tight?

So I was banded Aug 18 and have been struggling getting any fluids in let alone the recommended Water. I was drinking about an ounce of water and not able to take anything else in for at least 1&1/2 hours. Anything more would just come back up. During this time I would be so uncomfortable and continuously burping. I know the point is to feel restriction but this was pretty crazy. Everyone else seems to be doing so well and so I just figured it was taking me longer to heal. Well today I realized that I had let myself become very dehydrated and finally called my doctor. It turns out my stomach mucosa is swollen so badly that even water barely trickles through. There is no fill in my band yet just my body reacting badly I guess. So some IV fluids and IV Toradol and I'm a new woman. I will be continuing the IV hydration and anti-inflammatory meds until the sweling goes down. Just wanted to tell my story incase there is someone else out there having similar problems and like me reading the August forum and thinking they were alone. Don't wait it out you will be soooo happy you did something.
