Did I lose the Sunday thread or didn't any body start one.

I had to go to Hurley for a slight unfill yesterday after only getting a .5cc fill Wednesday.  I take back anything I might have thought bad about them.  The PA wasn't sure when she did the fill if it was to much, they can only go on what we say.  She told me if I had any trouble give her a call.  I called the hospital on Sat and asked for the bariatric person.  They put me right thru to Denise, she had me go right in to admitting.  When I got there they new I was coming and had me on my way up in 3 min.  I met Denise in the burn unit hall and she had me relieved and out in 15 minutes.  She took her time talking to me too.

QOTD:  Have you had any ER experiences since surgery!

WOW, glad you are doing better after your ER visit. My PA is wonderful, too.
 Fortunately, no band related ER visits for me since banding.

Glad to hear things went well for you, hopefully the unfill (is that what you call it?) helps you feel better.

Q: No problems for me either.

Hi Edie!  With the band you get saline put in the band at intervals.  They keep adding until you can get full on a certain amount of food and stay full for  hours or more.  They have a flow chart that they follow on how much if any to add.  I was getting close to what they call the green zone.  She only added .5cc of saline into the band.  It was to much and when that happens you stomach swells and can close up.  This is what happened to me.  I couldn't even get fluid down.

Now only a .25cc "UN FILL" later I feel GREAT!

Howdy-
It's Sunday night and I'm just getting on the computer.  How was everyone's day?

QOTD-Yep, one time.  About 3 weeks out I couldn't stop throwing up and got dehydrated.  Got pumped full of fluids in the ER and sent home.  But nothing major since then.

Hope you have a good rest of the night!
