Hi my wonderful support! Just to refresh....surgery on 11/12, problem getting liquids down, dehydrated, vomiting 1X, and nausea.

I saw the surgeon this morning. I was down 13lbs from last Thursday and he was concerned. After talking and really listening to me, he thought what might be happening is that I had a gas bubble stuck in my band!

He goes to my port and sure enough......1/2cc of saline AND 1cc of air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost instant relief when it was removed. The nurse brought me a cup of Water and i had more drank in 5 minutes than I was able to get down all morning long! I AM SOOOOO HAPPY!

He also sent me for bloodwork to see how low my electrolytes were and if he needed to admit me back into hospital for dehydration. I am confident now, that won't be necessary. Thank you all for youe suggestions and support
