Went to see Doctor Lord today TUESDAY....
I called him on Saturday and said I can't keep anything down even water. He said come in at 9 am on Monday and I will do an unfill for you. I get there with my daughter in tow and the door to their clinic is locked and the lights are out. They were closed for the Holiday. HOLY HELL! I had to then wait ANOTHER day of this Hell I am in and possible dehydration. I was Mad....
So today I get there EARLY 8am Im sitting in the waiting room, they weigh me and im down to 174!!!! thats 5lbs ive lost in 3 days NOT GOOD But GOOD....the Nurse comes and tells me He's in Surgery with another paitent and wont be able to get down here until 10....
:::sigh:::
so Im very paitent, I wait in the waiting room for about 1hour an 45minutes and then he comes and takes .25cc's out of my band and PHEWWWW do I feel better! I CAN DRINK FLUIDS AGAIN!!! Im not sure about how I will do with solids because im on liquids till friday. I feel sooo sooo sooo much better.
I cannot describe the pain I was in when I took a sip of water or liquids it felt like the liquids were stuck every time and it would take like 30 minutes of what seemed like an insta-headache and an elephant sitting on my chest to go away all for a sip SIP SMALL SIP of water. it was NOT FUN. I dont know why it happend my last fill was on November 10th, Dr. Lord said that it may have been irritated by something I ate and then PB'ed....NOW He says EVERY TIME you PB you are suppose to go on a liquid diet for 24 hours because you have irritated your band....
Well thats it for my not so fun weekend I am glad it is over, I will keep you updated with how solids go on Friday!!!

I've heard that when you're near your sweet spot that a tiny fill/unfll can make a GIANT different. Sounds like a big pain in the butt but I'm so glad you're feeling better!
That is good advice: 24 hours liquid diet after a PB or the thought that you have irritated your band.. gosh we are very fragile creatures when you think about it!!
Glad you are feeling so much better.
I'm so glad that you're doing better finally. Good luck to ya!
I am so glad that you FINALLY got some relief!! I just can't believe that the Doctor would make you wait so long just to do a slight unfill.
That is something that us baby bandster's should try to remember. When we have a PB, keep to a liquid diet for 24 hrs until the irritation is down.
Glad you are feeling better! I'm sure that was no fun.
Holy cow - just that tiny bit out made such a difference? Bit freaky to think how easy it is for the docs to overshoot the mark to an overfill. I guess they are semi-guessing as much as we are with how things are. So glad you're feeling better - that sounded like NO FUN at all!!
glad you are better and on your way to hydration!
Hey, Glad to hear your doing better! I never realised that so little amoutn of fluid could make such a difference!
Very good to hear that after a PB should do a full liquid diet! Will definatly keep that in mind and in force.
So glad you got an unfill! Here to continued success WITH the ability to eat :)!
That whole episode sounds horrible :(
Glad you made it in for the unfill
How is it going now?
Im doing much better now I can drink and eat without it HURTING!! It was unimaginable!
Glad you were able to get some fluid pulled out! I haven't seen a doctor since last april, but I think after we have a baby I'll get back on the ball with fills.
Glad you are feeling better...that sounded horrible!
