HELP

I am still having problems with regurgitation at night, and now I cannot eat anything, not even sliders. I take 2 tsp. and feel like I need to throw up. It's so painful. I have been trying to get to the clinic, but keep getting a recording, and have left 2 messages with no response. I did get a prescription for the reflux , but it isnt working. My throat is sore and maybe swollen. Even my ears were hurting this morning. I need an unfill asap. Is the clinic closed or what????? What should I do???

They may well be closed today. It seems to me that you need an immediate unfill. Try to sleep sitting up tonight & if you can,t go to the emerg in Moncton.....personally,  I would only go as a last resort because of my experiences. If you do go insist that the doctor takes out only 2 cc out. Most will drain it. I have learned that if you go to the ER you have to be ready to stand your ground.  When I went in last August, the doctor in ER wanted to send me home because the x-ray didn't show a blockage!!! I had to guzzle some water & throw it up to prove I needed to see a radiologist. Dr Champagne is a sweetheart & will only take out 2 cc. I had to strike a deal with him. i said take out 2 cc & if water goes through fine, then we stop. If it doesn't then we do it you way. He was very nice & thanked me, when it worked.

Thanks, I will continue to try tommorrow to get a hold of the clinic, I definitely need an unfill. Hopefully they will only take 2cc out, I don't want a complete unfill. I had thought because I was'nt continuing to lose that I needed the last fill, but now I think I have been too tight going back to the past 2 fills. Prior to that I was losing and eating well. Being too tight is not the answer for continued weight loss. Lesson learned, I hope I havent done any permanent damage.Thanks for your help. I so appreciate having you here on this site. oxoxoxo

Is water going down? If it isn't you can get dehydrated very fast & you need to go to emerg. if water is getting through, you can wait until tomorrow.

yup , water is going down fine, and I had some jello . Throat still sore, and feels like a lump in my throat. Not looking forward to the night. Reflux is bad. Never had this problem before the last fill, so definitely related. On the bright side , I have lost some more weight. I just to have more patience, and get that unfill. Hope I get through tommorrow.

I always lost weight when I was overfull, but because I could not eat healthy, I would gain it back as soon as I could eat.
As for sleeping tonight, try either sleeping in a Lazy Boy or raising the head of your bed.

Last night was'nt as bad, I only woke up once with choking on acid reflux. Got a call this morning from the clinic. Dr. B is on vacation till may 9th and Lisa booked me in then. Quite a wait, but what can you do.  lol.

That is a long time. As long as you can drink fluids, you can wait, but if they stop going down, it is time to go to emerg.  Did you raise the head of your bed? It does help. That acid not only wakes you up, it damages the esophagus. What medications are you on for the acid reflux? There is more than one option that your family doctor could prescribe.
I suggest that you get some Diabetic Boost because it has more protein than any other meal replacement drink.  It happens to be on sale at Shopper's for 7.99 this week.

I am on Tecta, just started a little over a week ago. The pharmacist had told me to take it a supper time, but Lisa says to take it in the am before breakfast, so hopefully this will work better. I have a huge container of whey protein from costco that I use for my smoothies. It went down well this morning and my tummy feels better. I think I will just drink ( not liquor, lol) my meals today and go on muchies for a couple of days until I try a normal meal again. I have'nt raised the head of my bed, hubby couldnt sleep like that, but I have a mound of pillows supporting me. As I said before, last night was better and my throat feels better today. Time will tell. Thanks for your support.

With a doctor's OK, you can take Tacta twice per day. That is what I take. Dr Roy (Mrs B)  also put me on Sucralfate 1 Gm. Dr B took me off it after surgery. You could talk to your family Dr about both- 2 weeks is a long time.
